FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID FORM (FAFSA):  You must apply for financial in order for HOPE and softball scholarships to be processed.  In order for your scholarships to be available by the fee payment deadline of August 2nd, you should complete or renew the FAFSA by May 1.  Any applications submitted after May 1 will be processed, but there is no guarantee your funds will be available by the fee payment deadline of August 2, 2010. 

FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION:  These are academic scholarships ranging from $200 to $2000 annually.  No applications will be accepted after March 1. 

APPLICATION FOR HOUSING:  There is a $50 application fee and a $250 damage deposit that is required with your application.  Dorm rooms are assigned on a first come first serve basis.  Suggested deadline is May 1.

SUMMER 2010 ORIENTATION DATES:  Once you receive your final acceptance to the college, I will register you for your fall 2010 classes.  However, it is your responsibility sign up (through admissions) and attend one of the following orientation dates:  June 16, July 8, July 22, August 4, August 11.

 

FALL 2010 PAYMENT DEADLINE: August 2, 2010.  All students must pay for tuition and fees with their own money and/or by activating financial aid/scholarships through the financial aid office.  Schedules not fully paid or activated by 4:00 p.m. on August 2nd will be dropped.  Most classes will be full at this point.  Trying to create a class schedule that is conducive to your major as well as being a student athlete after this deadline is very difficult if not impossible.
