The
primary document is the FAFSA, which determines
the amount of resources you and/or your family have (has) available to
contribute to the cost of education. Remember that parent data
must be submitted on both the FAFSA and on the Institutional Application
for Financial Aid to be considered for institutional grants and
loans - see individual college programs for further information.
For aid
purposes, the academic year comprises summer, fall, winter and
spring quarters. Use the chart below to file the correct FAFSA
(and institutional application) according to the quarters for which
aid is requested.
