Deadline Guidelines for FAFSA 2011—2012

• Fall Semester — June 1
• Spring Semester — October 1
• Summer Semesters — March 15

In order for students to obtain federal financial aid through FAFSA to pay tuition and textbooks for current semester, the deadlines listed should be used as a guideline. Students can continue to apply for FAFSA after these dates, however, the financial aid may not be processed in time to pay the current semester's tuition and textbooks. Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA application at any time during the academic year.

Before completing the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA), apply for a U.S. Department of Education PIN (Personal Identification Number) at www.pin.ed.gov. If you’re a dependent student, a parent should also apply for a PIN so that they can electronically sign your FAFSA. Your PIN can be used to sign your FAFSA on the web electronically, review and correct answers on your FAFSA, and reapply for student aid every year you are in school. Your PIN does not expire, so do not share it with anyone.

Once you receive your PIN, you are ready to complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. You will find a list of documents needed to complete the FAFSA, and state aid deadlines.
