Important News for the 2012-13 Academic Year

Our online financial aid application process will now be open to students beginning February 17, 2012 instead of January 1st, the date we've used in the past. There's a new option on your FAFSA called the IRS Data Retrieval Tool which gives you the ability to automatically transfer your federal tax data from the IRS to your FAFSA. You'll be able to use the Data Retrieval Tool within 2 weeks after you file your IRS income tax form, so if you file by the end of January, you'll be ready to do your FAFSA on February 17th when our application process opens. Read more and listen to our podcasts FAFSA and the IRS and Verification to get a detailed explanation of the changes for 2012-13 and to ensure a smooth process in getting your loans.
