Consideration uses FAFSA information delivered to the institution and the campus priority date. File early and confirm financial aid received your SAI and any verification documents. Request a net estimate and ask about renewal and academic progress. Do not reuse deadlines from a prior year; each college announces the dates for its cohort.
