Timeline
The priority filing date of the FAFSA for incoming students varies by application type. Incoming students seeking admission as an Early Decision applicant must file the FAFSA application by November 1st, of the year prior in which financial aid is desired. Early Action applicants should file by December 1st, and Regular Decision applications should file by February 1st.
For continuing students, the priority filing date for the FAFSA is March 1st of the year in which financial aid is desired. Learn more on the Ithaca College Financial Aid website. Applications of incoming and continuing students who apply after these dates will be reviewed but cannot be guaranteed full consideration for all aid programs. It is the student’s responsibility to complete any application for aid for which they are determined to be eligible, unless the student wishes to decline the aid source being offered.
