Using Financial Aid in the Express Terms

By Michelle Campbell, Director of Financial Aid

Did you know that you can use financial aid for the spring express term 2? Make sure that you have the 2021-2022 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file.  If not, visit our website to access the necessary applications immediately.   Students who are enrolled in, or plan to enroll in, sessions that span less than 15 weeks of the standard term should take the following things into consideration in order to fully maximize their aid eligibility:

 

  1. Register in all courses before the spring census date of February 15, 2022.
  2. Register in at least one 15-week course or two consecutive eight-week courses, or a combination of both to get the full cost of attendance allowance for the term and for NYS aid eligibility.
  3. Students must begin attendance or have academic activity in each session to get aid for that session.
  4. Students registering after the census date should contact the Financial Aid Office regarding their aid eligibility.

 

We look forward to being a part of your educational solution!
