To help you meet financial aid deadlines, outlined are due dates for early and regular decision, transfer, returning, undergraduate, and graduate students. Depending on your program or career, you may be required to complete the FAFSA, the CSS Profile, or both.
To receive a timely aid offer notification, students must submit the FAFSA and CSS Profile by the due date. However, we will continue to accept FAFSA and CSS Profile submissions after the published due date.
