The following late penalties apply to the financial aid renewal applications of returning students (traditional Sophomore, Junior, Senior) for the 2013-14 academic year.

Our goal is to provide the highest level of customer service possible to all students and families. Late submission of required documents delays our review of an application, which in turn delays the posting of financial aid credits to a student’s account. Your attention to completing the financial aid renewal application process on time will help us provide the very highest quality assistance to all those we serve. To encourage completion of the application process in a timely way, we will assess a graduated late penalty to any late applications. The chart below describes the late penalty structure. For those families who have extenuating circumstances, such as an illness or other unanticipated emergencies, we ask that you notify our office prior to the deadline to request an extension.

Application Received	Late Penalty
Fall Semester
After May 1 (application deadline)	$500 loan increase
After June 1	$1,000 loan increase
After July 1	No University Scholarship for the fall semester
Spring Semester
November 1, 2013 (App deadline)	For Spring scholarship consideration
After November 1 and no later than December 1, 2013	A late penalty of $1,000 increased loan
After December 1, 2013	No University Scholarship for the fall and spring semesters

We encourage students to confirm that their application is complete by checking their application status on-line prior to the deadline.

*Leave of Absence: The financial aid application deadline for students who attend the Spring 2013 semester only is November 1, 2013. Applications received after November 1 and no later then December 1, 2013 will receive a late penalty of $1,000 increased loan. Applications received after December 1, 2013 will not receive scholarship consideration.
