Current Student Timeline
Due to the 2026-27 FAFSA updates and the changes to federal financial aid programs due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), we are estimating that 2026-27 Financial Aid Offers for current students may not be available until mid-July. Because we must first award students their full subsidized/unsubsidized eligibility before we can process a Federal PLUS loan, those applications will not be available on studentaid.gov until awarding has happened.
