Welcome
Public Notice
February 7, 2024 - The US Department of Education announced that availability of student FAFSA data will be delayed until March – this has understandably raised concerns from students and families about whether financial aid packages will be available in time to meet application and admission deadlines, and how colleges and universities will respond.
The most important points for students to understand:
- This delay is affecting only the timing of the award notification – it is not impacting the amount that students will eventually receive.
- We anticipate that students will be able to enroll for Fall semester with full information about their financial aid award.
- As such, this delay need not have any impact at all on plans to enroll for fall semester.
We recognize that this delay is stressful for students, but the financial aid and admissions staff at our colleges and universities are committed to working with students to make the financial aid and enrollment process as smooth as possible.
Financial Aid staff are available time to answer questions or by appointment. Methods available are email, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, phone or in person appointments on campus.
To apply for financial aid, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application is free. Beware of sites requesting payment to file the application.
School Code: 010491
