FALL 2011 DEADLINE DATE
Deadline date for all documents is Friday, July 29, 2011.
Documents include a valid Student Aid Report from the FAFSA; verification documents, if requested; complete admissions file; and any other document or information requirements requested by the Financial Aid Office. Students may fax required items to 423-614-8711, however, all documents must be submitted at the same time. We do not keep incomplete faxed items. For example, if you fax a 2011-2012 verification worksheet and you do not fax your 2010 income tax transcript, your verification worksheet will be shredded. Due to our new imaging system, all documents must be submitted together and a student ID number MUST be on every page.
Appeal deadline is Friday, August 19, 2011.
Census date is Tueday, August 30, 2011.
- Census date: CSCC uses a “freeze” date each semester to determine a student’s enrollment status for awarding financial aid. The courses for which you are registered on the freeze date will determine financial aid eligibility.
- This means that if a student adds or drops classes before the freeze date, the amount of financial aid they are eligible for will be affected. If classes are added or dropped after the freeze date, the financial aid will not change if you have attended the class.
- Exceptions to this policy are students receiving Loans, who also must be enrolled for a minimum of six credit hours at the time of loan disbursement, and students who withdraw from and/or stop attending all of their classes or never attended their classes. If a student changes course sections after the freeze date and does not attend the original registered class, financial aid will consider the student as never attended and aid will not be adjusted even if the student attends the “changed section” course.
Lottery Scholarship Deadline Date is Thursday, September 1, 2011.
FAFSA must be received by this date.
PLEASE NOTE: Although Cleveland State participates in the electronic processing of financial aid applications, we DO NOT encourage students to wait until the last minute to file. Applications received after a priority deadline will be processed only as time allows. Students who have not submitted the appropriate information in a timely manner may be required to pay their fees and then be reimbursed at a later date if they qualify for financial assistance. |
