Priority Deadlines
The priority deadline is the recommended date for completing your financial aid application. Completing your financial aid application by the priority deadline will ensure that your financial aid decision will be among the first released.
If you miss a priority deadline, you can still submit any missing documents and get a financial aid decision. You will not receive less financial aid if you complete your financial aid application after the priority deadline; however, it will take longer to receive your financial aid decision.
Use the table below to determine which priority deadline applies to you.
| Applicant Type | Priority Deadline for 2025-26 Academic Year |
|---|---|
| New Applicant, Restrictive Early Action | December 16, 2024 |
| New Applicant, Regular Decision | March 17, 2025 |
