Applying for Federal Student Aid
- To apply for an FSA ID, go to studentaid.gov
- Go to studentaid.gov to apply online. (This takes up to 2 weeks to process after submitted to the Department of Education)
- To ensure that you have enough time to complete the Financial Aid process before payment/payment arrangement is due (one week into the semester), please start the Financial Aid process 8 weeks before classes commence. If your financial aid process is not complete by the payment/payment arrangement deadline, you will be responsible for all charges and will be reimbursed once your financial aid has been awarded/disbursed to your student account.
