Federal Student Financial Aid Deadlines |
The 2006-2007 School Year (July 1st, 2006 - June 30th, 2007):
It is important to note the type of deadline you are up against. Ask your school about their definition of an application deadline, whether it is the receipt date and time or the process date and time of the application. As far as the CPS is concerned, we consider an application's receipt date and time when the application/correction has been successfully submitted. The last page of the online application/correction submission process is therefore called the "Confirmation Page". It contains a 22 (if an application) or 30 (if a correction) character long "Confirmation Number". This number contains the exact date and time (Eastern Standard Time) the form was received. It is recommended you print this for your records. Note: Transactions must be completed and accepted by midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before midnight but are not completed until after midnight, those transmissions will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission picked up on the deadline date that gets rejected may not be able to be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him/her of the reject. In addition to the federal deadlines for filling out a FAFSA, you may also use the FAFSA to apply for aid from other sources, such as your state or college. The deadlines for states or colleges may differ from the federal deadlines and you may be required to complete additional forms. State Student Financial Aid Deadlines State deadlines may be earlier than the federal deadline. Your state may also require an additional form. Check the requirements and deadlines. Contact your financial aid administrator or your state agency. Check with your high school guidance counselor or a financial aid administrator at your college about state and college sources of student aid. College Student Financial Aid Deadlines Colleges may have their own deadlines and applications for awarding student aid. Check with the college's financial aid office for information.
