What are the deadlines for submitting the FAFSA for the next academic year (2011-2012)?
You must not complete the FAFSA until after January 1, 2010, for the 2010-2011 academic year. To prepare the FAFSA in advance: pick up a paper form from the Financial Aid Office or visit www.fafsa.ed.gov, but do not sign, date or submit it before January 1, 2010. In order to be considered for campus-based aid programs, be sure to submit the FAFSA by March 1, 2010 so that is received by the priority application deadline date of April 15, 2010. If you do not meet the April 15th deadline, your eligibility for need-based assistance may be affected because of the limited amount of funds available.
