Contributors must provide consent and sign the FAFSA with their unique FSA IDs. To submit the FAFSA to ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University, use the federal school code: 001385. The FAFSA should be submitted at least four weeks before the beginning of the semester the student is applying for aid.

Federal student aid will be awarded to all eligible part-time students on a rolling basis as applications are received by the Office of Financial Aid. Please review the below deadlines to submit the FAFSA application:

Verification is the process when a school is required to compare the information from the FAFSA to the information from a student’s (and parent’s or spouse’s, if applicable) tax and income information filed in the applicable tax year. If a student’s application is selected for verification by the Department of Education, he/she will be notified through their FAFSA Submission Summary and by ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University. A FAFSA Submission Summary is a summary of a student’s FAFSA results. Students selected for verification will need to submit additional documentation as requested by the Office of Financial Aid.

Part-time students can register for courses by phone, in-person, or online via the student portal, , and will be billed accordingly by the Office of the Bursar. Students can either arrange to make tuition payments following tuition payment policies or can seek options with financial aid, loans, and other financing to assist with program expenses.
Students will be allowed to register in the fall and spring semesters with payment required upon receipt of an electronic billing statement via notification to the student's university email account. This billing arrangement is available from the first day of registration up to three weeks before the start of classes.

If registration takes place within three weeks of the start date of classes, payment in full or approved financial aid that covers the full cost of tuition/fees is required at the time of registration. If financial aid does not cover all expenses at the time of registration, students are responsible for paying any remaining balance before registration can be complete.

The summer semester is considered to be the last semester or "trailer" semester of an award year. Federal student loans may be available to students planning to enroll for the summer semester provided the student:

• Will be matriculated into a degree-granting program
• Has met all federal regulatory requirements
• Is making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) as defined by ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ University

NEW student applicants who are applying for financial aid for the first time for the summer semester should complete the current and next academic year's FAFSAs. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for further instructions regarding the FAFSA.

CURRENT student applicants who have not used their total federal student loan award for the current academic year and would like to utilize their remaining loan(s) for a summer session should submit a Loan Request Form. This form should be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid at least 24 hours before registration. Students can also use alternative loans for summer courses.
