Apply for Aid - Fall 2013

FAFSA School Code: 004508


New, transfer, and continuing students who will be enrolling in the 2013 Fall semester will need to apply for financial aid for the 2013-2014 school year.

You must be eligible to apply for financial aid, so make sure that you meet the Eligibility Requirements before applying.


IMPORTANT:

  • Read all instructions very carefully to avoid delays in processing your financial aid.
  • The University needs your Social Security Number for financial aid processing.
  • Financial aid processing can take 6-8 weeks so don't delay.
  • Remember you must be enrolled at least half-time to receive financial aid.
    • Undergraduate: 6 credit hours
    • Graduate: 3 credit hours
    • Health Professional: 5 credit hours

To apply for financial aid:

File your 2012 Federal Tax Return first, allow the IRS about 3 weeks to process your forms and then, complete your 2013-14 FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval tool. This tool is simple, easy and quick to use.

  • All students must have a Federal Student Aid PIN.
  • In addition, one parent of a dependent student (as determined by the FAFSA) must have a Federal Student Aid PIN to sign the FAFSA electronically.
  • Your PIN will be good for the number of years that you are applying for financial aid from your undergraduate to your graduate programs.
  • Store your PIN in a secure location and do not share it with anyone.

TIP: Allow up to an hour to gather your information and complete the FAFSA.
