Financial Aid Deadlines

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is due at least three months preceding the term for which you are applying. Completing your taxes before filing your FAFSA helps to ensure accuracy and speed processing. FAFSA applications may be submitted closer to your start date, but processing may be delayed.
