The mail-in process of the Free Application For the Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. The electronic process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. Because of the length of time it takes to process your application by mail, we encourage you to submit your application on-line.

When applying For Federal Financial Aid, be sure to apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) as well. This information can be obtained on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you are a dependent student (using your parents tax information to complete the FAFSA), your parent will need to request a PIN also. Your PIN can be used to sign your FAFSA electronically and to make corrections, if needed.

The financial aid workshop schedule can be obtained from the Student Services Department. Please attend the workshops on the day and time designated to the program for which you are enrolling.
