Deadlines Dates for Financial Aid

Incoming Day Priority Financial Aid Deadline: February 15th

Non Incoming Day or Returning student Priority Financial Aid Deadline: April 15th

The purpose of our deadlines is to insure that we have sufficient time to process your financial aid so that it is credited to your account by the start of the fall term. Filing late or submitting requested documentation after the deadline may cause a reduction in your financial aid award or a delay in having your aid credited to your account.

If you miss the application or the additional documentation deadline, you must be prepared to use the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable's deferred payment plan if your financial aid is not in place for the beginning of the fall term. If you do not make the necessary payment arrangements, you may incur a late charge that will not be waived.

Also if you miss the deadlines and your financial aid is not in place, then you must be prepared for a delay in receiving a refund check for living expenses or a transfer of funds to your gold card to buy books. Information concerning the deferred payment plan can be obtain from the Office of Student and Accounts Receivabl at 215 951-1055.

You can reach the Office of Student Financial Services at 215-951-1070 or check on the status of your financial aid through Brother LUWIS at my.lasalle
