If you were enrolled in a regionally accredited institution of higher learning in Alabama, Louisiana or Mississippi as of August 29, 2005, see us about having your fees waived.

Last day to add a Fall 2006 full-semester class: September 1, 2006. NO REVISIONS WILL BE MADE TO YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARD(S) AFTER THAT TIME.

Applications for Cal Grants are available in the information rack outside the Financial Aid Office, with a deadline of September 2, 2006. For high school students applying for Fall 2007 the application submission deadline is March 2, 2007.

Okay, so you dread the idea of having to stand in line in front of the Financial Aid Office. Here are some Tips for Spending Less Time in Line.

If you have recently changed your name (due to marriage, divorce, etc.) submit an official name change with the Social Security Administration immediately. Their process will take approximately one month to complete. Your financial aid cannot be determined until your name change is completed by the Social Security Administration.
