It's FAFSA Time! NEW Major Changes have been made. You may file your FAFSA for the 2012-13 academic year beginning as early as January 1. However, although easier and faster, it is best that you and your parents complete your 2011 federal tax returns beforehand. For specific guidelines click on "Applying for Aid" and then"Major Aid Changes" in the column on the left of this website.
NEW FAFSA Priority Deadline at CCSU - April 16, 2012, is the new extended deadline for all applicants and continuing students to file his or her 2012-13 FAFSA to ensure being considered an "on time" applicant. This will allow students and families the appropriate time to complete their 2011 federal tax returns and use the required IRS Data Match option on the FAFSA. An "on time" applicant will be considered for federal, state, and school aid dependent on eligible need. A FAFSA may be completed after this deadline but the applicant will not be considered "on time."
