IMPORTANT UPDATE

The Department of Education is currently implementing updates that have caused a nationwide delay in FAFSA/CADAA processing, with award timelines expected around June or July. Separately, financial aid information may be temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance, and students will be notified once it’s restored.

When I log into my student portal, I am unable to see my financial aid, why?

There is system maintenance taking place that does not allow financial aid awards to be visible. As soon as the maintenance is complete, a communication will be sent out with an update.

I submitted my FAFSA/CADAA for processing, but have not received an award letter, why?

There is currently a nationwide delay with the processing of FAFSA/CADAA applications due to updates being made by the Department of Education. The expected timeline for the end of the delay is June/July. Our office will continue to communicate updates as they are provided to campuses nationwide.

Is there anything I can do to get an estimated award while waiting for my financial aid package?

Yes, you can use our Net Price Calculator to get an estimated award.
