Students who are US Citizens or Eligible Non-Citizens are eligible to receive a financial aid package, which can include federal, state, and institutional awards. newsUniversity requires both the FAFSA and CSS Profile to be submitted.

The federal government has revised the FAFSA and the form is available for submission.

• The CSS profile should be submitted by the following deadlines:
  • Early Action & Early Decision: December 1
  • Regular Decision & Early Decision II: January 15

• The FAFSA should be submitted by the following deadlines:
  • Early Action & Early Decision: Within 30 days of release
  • Regular Decision & Early Decision II:  January 15

• To complete your FAFSA, you must obtain an FSA ID.
• Report financial data from two years prior. To simplify the process, please provide consent, and if eligible, utilize the Future Act Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX), to have your IRS tax information imported directly into the FAFSA.
• To complete your CSS Profile, you must create a user ID and password if one was not created during your SAT application process.
• Like your FAFSA, you will report financial data from two years prior on your CSS Profile application.
• Respond to requests for additional information promptly.

If the FAFSA, the CSS Profile, and all required documentation are received by the stated deadlines, applicants will receive their financial aid packages by:

• Early Decision: January
• Early Action: January/February
• Early Decision II: February
• Regular Decision: March

Noncustodial PROFILEs* must be submitted no later than March 31 (*if applicable).

Transfer students should complete both the CSS Profile and the FASFA upon submission of their application.

Current and continuing students only need to complete the CSS Profile at their time of application and admission to newsUniversity. Students do not need to complete the CSS Profile every academic school year. The university need-based aid finalized during the student's freshman year will apply to the student for eight consecutive semesters, starting with the fall semester of their freshman year. Full-time enrollment of at least 12 credits per semester and maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is required for university need-based aid.

Federal aid must be reapplied for every academic year and is not guaranteed year-over-year. Current and continuing students should follow the below guidelines every academic school year to determine federal eligibility:

• Complete the FAFSA application by April 15.
• Submit additional information (if needed) no later than August 1st.
• Maintain at least half-time enrollment (6 credits) per semester.
• Demonstrate financial need for need-based federal aid.

Current and continuing students will be notified via their university email of their financial aid awards in June.

While divorce or separation may complicate the extent to which one or both parents can contribute financially to college, it does not absolve either parent of this obligation. Our policy for determining the financial needs of students whose parents are divorced or separated derives from the central principle that both parents are responsible for the support of their children to the extent that they are financially capable.

In cases of divorce or separation, the parent who has provided more than 50% of the student's financial support in the last 12 months is responsible for completing the FAFSA and CSS Profile. If this parent is remarried, the step-parent's information must also be reported on these applications. newsUniversity requires that the noncustodial parent (NCP) complete the by the stated deadline.

If the noncustodial parent is unable to complete the Noncustodial PROFILE on a student's behalf, newsmay consider waiving this requirement in extraordinary circumstances. In order to start the waiver appeal process, all first-year applicants (and custodial parents) should complete and submit the Noncustodial Parent PROFILE Waiver Appeal Form, with supporting documentation, to the Office of Financial Aid no later than March 31.
