APPLICATION AND AWARD DEADLINES
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION DEADLINES
If you miss these application deadlines, you may still apply for financial aid, but funds from some sources may not be available to late filers. Some award programs with limited funding are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
For Fall Admission
January 2 Assemble your/your spouse's and/or your parents' income records. If you are not required to file federal tax returns, file your FAFSA now!
March 15 File your/your spouse's and/or your parents' federal income tax returns.
April 15 File your FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Use your/your spouse's and/or your parents' income documents and/or federal tax returns. File TAP on the Web using the link for New York State residents on the FAFSA Confirmation Page.
April 30 If you did not apply for TAP on the Web when you filed your FAFSA, file TAP on the Web at: https://www.tapweb.org/totw/. You must have received Student Aid Report results from your FAFSA before using this link to apply for TAP.

January 2 If you did not apply for TAP on the Web when you filed your FAFSA, file TAP on the Web at: https://www.tapweb.org/totw/. You must have received Student Aid Report results from your FAFSA before using this link to apply for TAP.
FINANCIAL AID AWARD DEADLINES
Each financial aid program has its own final deadline for either filing an application or submitting the results to the Financial Aid Office.
Federal Award Programs -- with few exceptions, issues with your FAFSA must be resolved and resolvable by your last day of attendance in any award period (usually the semester).
Federal Work-Study, Perkins Loans or FSEOG -- these programs have limited funding and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Awards continue to be made throughout the school year until funds are exhausted [usually by September 1 of the award year].
Federal Direct Loan Requests -- must be received by the Office of Financial Aid no later than three weeks before the end of the fall or spring terms.
New York State TAP -- issues with your NYS TAP application must be resolved by May 1 of the award year.
Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS) -- a CUNY Supplement must be on file before the end of the third week of your first semester of attendance within the award year.

Allow at least 4-6 weeks processing time for your financial aid application(s). The College will credit financial aid awards toward your tuition charges only if your applications have been processed.

The deadlines posted above are meant to give you enough time to have your applications processed and any problems with your application information corrected before any tuition bill due date.

If the Bursar's Office does not have enough information for your awards to print on your bill, you may have to settle the bill from your own resources until processing of your financial aid applications are completed.

Often, the Financial Aid Office must request additional information or documents to complete the processing of your application. Please respond promptly to any requests for additional information. Most delays in processing result from delayed responses. Don't wait until the day your bill is due. It can take 2 weeks or longer to process you for an award AFTER you submit additional information.

Remember to reapply for financial aid every academic year.
