Awarding Procedures

When all appropriate forms or documents have been received by the college Financial Aid Office, the student’s file is considered complete.

Students who have completed financial aid files by May 1 will receive priority consideration for the work-study programs for the following aid year. Failure to meet this priority date may result in some funds not being available to applicants.

The last day to complete a FAFSA is generally June 30 of any given year for the award year, however the FAFSA will need to be completed prior to the end of the semester the student wishes to receive aid for if they will not be returning for the following semester.

The Financial Aid office initially awards students based on full-time enrollment and is subject to prorate with enrollment changes. After the census date (the last day to add/drop courses), the awards will be adjusted to the actual enrollment level.
