- If you plan to attend Fall, the priority deadline for submitting your FAFSA application is May 1.
- If you plan to attend Spring, the priority deadline for submitting your FAFSA application is Oct. 1.
- If you plan to attend Summer, the priority deadline for submitting your FAFSA application is March 1.
See our FAFSA Overview for more information and tips about the FAFSA.
Scholarship Deadlines
While most scholarship programs have individual deadlines you must meet to be considered for an award, we recommend that you apply as early as possible.
Get more information and apply for scholarships by visiting the Scholarships and Other Aid page.
Transcript Deadlines
If you attended any other institution(s), you must submit all official transcripts to us and we must evaluate them before we can award financial aid. See Transcript Requirements for more information.
The deadlines for submitting transcripts are the same as the FAFSA priority deadline dates:
- Fall — May 1
- Spring — Oct. 1
- Summer — March 1
60% Dates
Federal regulations require you to repay a portion of financial aid funds if you withdraw from all classes before satisfying the 60% completion rule for the enrollment term.
