Financial Aid Calendar 2005-2006

The dates listed are priority dates, not deadlines. The Financial Aid office continually processes applications according to the date the completed aid file is received.

Have Financial Aid in place before the payment deadlines.

To insure that your financial aid awards are available at the beginning of the semester, you must have met the following priority dates.  If you submit the necessary paperwork after the priority date, your financial aid funds may not be available to you by the fee payment deadline, and you will be responsible for paying your tuition by the payment deadline or be removed from classes. 

Complete the FAFSA on a Yearly Basis

Your FAFSA application needs to be completed on a yearly basis.  The award year for financial aid begins in the fall semester each year and ends with the summer term.  Keep in mind that you need to resubmit your FAFSA every year before the priority date for the semester in which you plan to enroll.

Financial Aid Priority Dates by Semester/Term

TERM                        FAFSA                           VERIFICATION                   STUDENT LOANS

Fall 2005                   June 10, 2005                 July 15, 2005                      November 11, 2005

Spring 2006               October 28, 2005            November 30, 2005            April 3, 2006

Summer 2006           *March 15, 2006              April 14, 2006                     July 14, 2006

                                    *Also the priority date for Summer 2006 Financial Aid Applications

Excess funds for awards greater than the tuition and fees charged to the student (other criteria being met) are generally mailed by the third week of classes each semester.
