Important Dates

A Note About Financial Aid:

As indicated below, the annual federal deadline for filing the FAFSA is June 30th (i.e., June 30, 2025, for the 2024-2025 academic year). However, the 黑料社 Financial Aid Office processes financial aid applications throughout the year on a first-come, first-served basis once we receive all required information and documents from you.

Financial Aid is a government-driven, time-sensitive process with multiple steps that can take up to four to six weeks to complete once all required documents are received. Therefore, you should begin the process as early as possible, at least eight weeks before your planned class start date, to receive a book voucher (if eligible), pay your tuition and fees, and avoid late fees.


Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Dates

Completing the FAFSA is the first step in the Federal Student Aid application process. The federal government uses the information submitted on your FAFSA to determine your overall eligibility for aid and to calculate an Expected Family Contribution (EFC).  The school uses this information to follow up on eligibility issues, and to calculate your final award amounts.

If Taking Courses From File This FAFSA FAFSA Open Date Federal Deadline
Fall 2024-Summer 2025 '24-'25 FAFSA December 1, 2023 June 30, 2025
Fall 2025-Summer 2026 '25-'26 FAFSA Decenber 1, 2024 June 30, 2026

Students must submit an initial FAFSA, and then renew the FAFSA each year that federal financial aid is needed.
