Updated 4/22 - Incoming and Returning Applicants
The Yellow (incoming JD) Application is open. The Green (returning & graduate level) will open soon. Follow all steps on How to Apply and be sure to have your credentials ready to complete your application.
The FAFSA delays have also affected the ability for the Department of Education to process loans for the upcoming year and also the ability of schools nationwide to certify them. We will alert continuing students when the re-application process is available.
Students applying for summer aid should complete the FAFSA ASAP and the remainder of the steps as quickly as possible after the process opens.
For students applying only for the fall and spring of the upcoming year, the expected on-time filing date is June 1.

Incoming and Returning Applicants
The U.S. Department of Education is sending FAFSA information to schools in small batches over the next several weeks. When the Department of Education sends your FAFSA to schools, you will receive a notice from the Department of Education and the schools should have the data within the following week.
Again, it will take several weeks for the backlog of individual records to arrive and any applications completed recently may take 3-4 weeks to arrive. To check your status, please review your financial aid requirements on MyAccess to see if yours has been received.
To enable us to get financial aid notifications out as quickly as possible, and due to the significant FAFSA delays to date, we will not be able to respond to individual status check requests.
