Never Miss a Deadline
Many Financial Aid Deadlines correspond with the semester Academic Calendar. We encourage you to be familiar with add/drop deadlines, payment deadlines, FADD, and Withdrawal deadlines.

  • If you are considering dropping a class at any point in the semester, always reach out to the financial aid office first to see how your aid will be affected.

Deadline FAQs
Full Semester: 23rd day of the Semester
What is FADD?
FADD is the Financial Aid Determination Date. This is when the university checks your enrollment to decide your financial aid.
  • FADD is when we check your enrollment to decide your financial aid eligibility.
  • If you add and drop classes before FADD, your Federal and University Aid changes.
  • If your FAFSA® is processed after the semester FADD, your FADD for Federal Financial Aid will be different. Contact Financial Aid for additional information about your FADD.
