Financial aid offers will begin to be processed from the date of the last completed requirement. For the 2026-27 academic year, financial aid offers are made for new, undergraduate incoming students beginning in mid-December 2025 and continue monthly. Returning and continuing undergraduate students must be enrolled for financial aid offers to be completed. July 1 is the priority financial aid enrollment date for the fall semester. After students are enrolled and provided with an offer, they will be reviewed weekly until the financial aid recalculation date of each semester.
