This is the earliest possible date that you can submit the FAFSA form to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) (www.fafsa.ed.gov). However, we recommend that you complete your 2010 federal tax return (if applicable) before filling out this form. If you have not yet filed your return, you can still submit your FAFSA, but you must provide income and tax information. Once you file your tax return, correct any income or tax information that is different from what you initially submitted on your FAFSA.

Priority Processing Date

February 28 , 2011

This is our anticipated date that we will begin processing the FAFSA information (for Incoming Freshmen ONLY) received from the DOE. Your information must have a valid Expected Family Contribution (EFC) amount calculated by the DOE before further processing of the application. In most cases, however, the student or the parent forgot to use their respective Personal Identification Number (PIN) (www.pin.ed.gov)to electronically sign the application.

For all students, we ask that you allow at least three to four weeks for processing of your FAFSA information that we received from the DOE.

Because of federal budget restrictions, we cannot make any guarantees or assurances that additional funding beyond your initial award would become available during the academic year.

April 1 - April 15, 2011

This is our earliest date that we will begin processing aid for continuing students who plan to enroll in Summer school for 2011. These students must have been enrolled either Fall 2010, Spring 2011 or both semesters. Applications will be made available in the financial aid office and online. In most cases you must be enrolled at least half-time. Your award, if eligible, will consist of any unused aid from the above semesters. Please direct all questions pertaining to eligibility to your assigned financial aid advisor.

May 6 , 2011

This is the last date the financial aid office will process any requests for loan assistance (federal and private) for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 academic semesters. For federal loans only, we must have an existing, valid FAFSA on record.
