Financial aid deadlines for current students

Form	Deadline
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for federal grant and loan assistance. We suggest that you choose the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) when filing your FAFSA. Using the DRT is efficient and reduces errors.	February 15
CSS Profile The Profile is used to determine eligibility for need-based, institutional financial aid. (If you are applying for federal aid only, you do not need to file the Profile.) If your biological or adoptive parents are separated, divorced or were never married and do not live together, each of your parents must complete a CSS Profile.	February 15
Federal tax forms and verification documents Federal tax returns, or non-tax filer statements, and federal W2 forms are required from all current students and their parent(s). Federal tax returns or non-tax filer statements should be uploaded to IDOC — the College Board’s imaging service. If your FAFSA is selected for verification by the Department of Education, additional forms such as the Verification Worksheet will be required and should also be uploaded to IDOC. Do not email or fax tax documents or documents containing Social Security numbers to our office. Documents should be uploaded to IDOC.	February 15
