Summer 2023 is considered part of the 2022-2023 academic year for financial aid purposes.

We must have your 2022-2023 FAFSA processed to consider you for summer aid. Students must be registered at least half-time (minimum 6 credits for Undergraduate, Law, Dental, and Health Sciences Graduate Programs; minimum 4 credits for Graduate) to qualify for most federal aid.

The Office of Student Financial Aid will offer Title IV aid to all eligible students enrolled at least half time over the summer semester.

Once you are registered for classes and your 2022-2023 FAFSA has been reviewed, you will receive an email notification at your eMarq account regarding the results of our review.
