5. Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 (of the year you plan to enroll)

6. Financial aid award notification

• A financial aid award notification summarizes all financial aid you are eligible to receive and will be sent after the results from the FAFSA are received and finalized.

7. Receive course schedule, residence hall and roommate information

• We will work with you to finalize everything before you arrive on campus.

8. Weekend of Welcome

• Arrive on campus for check-in and orientation (earlier for some athletes and others participating in certain university activities).
