Financial Aid

About

The Financial Aid office provides different types of funding to help you cover the cost of education expenses, including tuition, fees, books, and supplies.

Important Dates and Deadlines

24-25 Aid year applications are now open!

Priority Processing Dates below are for the 23-24 FAFSA and are the recommended dates to have your application and all documents completed and submitted to the Financial Aid Office. If you meet the Priority Processing deadline and registered for classes, the Financial Aid Office will process your file and produce an award eligibility notification before the start of the term.

Financial Aid Priority Processing Dates Per Term
Term	Priority Processing Date	Census Date
Summer 2023	April 3, 2023	July 19, 2023
Fall 2023	July 10, 2023	October 6, 2023
Winter 2024	September 25, 2023	January 22, 2024
Spring 2024	January 3, 2024	April 19, 2024

If you missed the established priority processing dates (above) that does not mean that you will not receive Financial Aid. It does mean, however, that it is more likely that you will not find out your award eligibility until after the term has begun.
