Students submitting their financial aid applications after the established priority processing deadlines are not guaranteed to receive an initial award offer by their intended start date. Students will need to have alternative funding set up to avoid being dropped from their classes. If a student cannot afford their charges, or would like to look into other funding options, please know that alternative funding is available to those who qualify.
