Your New Student Checklist

  1. Fill Out Your FAFSA® (Financial Aid)

    Got 15 minutes? This step is quicker than you think!

    Most students and families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) in less than 15 minutes. That’s how long it takes to bake a batch of cookies. Complete your FAFSA® as soon as possible to see if you qualify for financial aid.

    After you complete it, we’ll reach out if more information is needed for your financial aid.
