To receive aid for another academic year the whole process must be repeated beginning with completing the FAFSA form again starting in January. It's a good idea to remember that tax time is also FAFSA time.
Reminders to complete the upcoming year's FAFSA are posted around campus but it is the student's responsibility to reapply. Students who fail to do so in a timely fashion often lose out on loans and grants that have limited funding, are assessed late fees by Student Accounts and/or do not have aid in place to qualify for a book deferment at the start of the year.
Many students will not have to complete additional promissory notes or the TAP application for a second year of aid. However, students should be careful to review all emails and documents sent to them and respond in a timely matter to assure that they will continue to receive the aid they are relying on.
