FAFSA Financial Aid Application Deadlines
Now is the time to complete your FAFSA. Actually, you should have done it already. However, many deadline for filing you financial aid application are coming up quickly. The deadlines vary by state and by school – so check with your financial aid office. Here is an overview:
Financial Aid Application Deadlines
The Department of Education considers an application’s receipt date and time to be when the application/correction has been successfully submitted. The last page of the online application/correction submission process is therefore called the “Confirmation Page”. It contains a 22 (if an application) or 30 (if a correction) character long “Confirmation Number”. This number contains the exact date and time (Central Standard Time) the form was received. It is recommended you print this for your records.
Important to remember: Transactions must be completed and accepted by midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before midnight but are not completed until after midnight, those transmissions will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission picked up on the deadline date that gets rejected may not be able to be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him/her of the reject.
