Application Priority Dates

Priority dates for completing the Application Process (through Step 4) are based on the first quarter you plan to receive aid.

Determine your priority date by using the chart below. If you complete and submit all required materials by this date and are found to be eligible, your aid will begin at the start of the quarter for which you have applied.


The entire financial aid process may take up to four months from the initial application to the disbursement of funds. You are encouraged to begin the Financial Aid application process at least 2 months prior to the priority date.

If you complete your file late, you must pay your own tuition and fees. If you are later found to be eligible for financial assistance, you may be reimbursed for those costs. For additional information, please see the current application packet, available in the Financial Aid Office.
