Financial Aid

2013 Financial Aid Calendar

It's very important that you review the financial aid calendar and are aware of the various deadlines. Due to federal, state and institutional regulations, if the appropriate financial aid paperwork is not submitted in its entirety by the deadlines, you will be ineligible to receive assistance for the semester or academic year in question. In such cases, you will be 100% responsible for any outstanding bill, without financial assistance. Periodically the OSFA will send reminders about missing paperwork, but ultimately it is your responsibility.
