Helpful Hints

1. Be aware of deadlines. Do not wait to be accepted for admission. Complete the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible. Mail by February 15.
2. Keep a file for your records of all financial aid materials. Keep copies of all documents including the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
3. Use the return postcard supplied with the FAFSA to document receipt date at the processor.
4. Complete the FAFSA in black ink or complete the FAFSA on the web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (will open in new window).
5. Respond promptly to all requests for information. If additional documentation is required, your application file cannot be completed until we have received and reviewed requested documents.
6. Be sure your name, social security number and student ID are on all correspondence.
7. Notify Financial Aid Services in writing of all outside scholarships, awards, additional resources, or unique family circumstances.
8. Notify the office in writing of all updates of information (e.g. changes of name, address, or phone numbers).
