Summer uses the 17-18 FAFSA / TASFA information; the summer is the end of the 17-18 academic year. If you do not have a 17-18 FAFSA / TASFA on file, don't wait. The 17-18 FAFSA / TASFA must be in our office no later than June 15th, 2018 for our office to have sufficient processing time prior to the end of the fiscal year. This means you must complete the FAFSA at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__fafsa.gov&d=DwIFAg&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=d7mEB2p2506frt6QpEuAWJ8K3NYabkARjALZdNKKn6A&m=ZdyYHKsorSFR9GjUUp6MlS4_-wWOr-eIuYGJXFHHPes&s=MuhlGJgR8zipbFer-9FlNFh3Z_D7lXmigfXrckRRHNQ&e= no later than June 10th, 2018 to meet our deadline of June 15th, 2018.
Important things to remember:

2. You need to be registered in no less than 6 credit hours for most financial aid programs.
* Dissertation 718 course is the only exception.
