Due to ongoing challenges with the FAFSA because of FAFSA Simplification, the release of the 2025-26 FAFSA will be delayed. While the FAFSA is typically released on October 1, this year the FAFSA will be released by December 1 for the 2025-26 school year. Plan to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after it is released.

Because of the delay in the release of the FAFSA, financial aid offers for both admitted and returning students will be available later than normal. These delays should not continue past this year with the October 1 release of the FAFSA resuming for the 2026-27 year.

Check out our FAFSA Simplification page for more information on the changes. We will update this page as more information becomes available.
