NEW STUDENTS - Financial Aid "To Do" Checklist

Important Information:

2012-2013 FAFSA ON THE WEB

Students and parents may now link to the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to help provide accurate tax information when completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The IRS DRT will be available early February 2012 for the 2012-2013 application. This tool provides a faster and more accurate method of completing the FAFSA.

FOR NEW STUDENTS: Our Priority FAFSA filing deadline is March 1, 2012. This will allow us to provide freshmen and transfer applicants with their financial aid award packages in a timely fashion.

FOR CONTINUING STUDENTS: Because we are encouraging students to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, we are moving our Priority FAFSA filing deadline to May 1, 2012.
