PRIORITY
DATES AND DEADLINES
Rather than operating under strict
deadlines, the Office of Financial Aid makes an effort to
provide funds to students as long as funds are available.
However, priority deadlines do exist because funds are limited.
The following time periods have been established as priority
deadlines for students applying for financial aid at DBU:
- The priority deadline for a student
to complete his/her file in order to receive maximum consideration
for federal or state financial aid for the fall semester
is March 15.
- If the March 15 priority deadline
is not met, the student's application will still be processed.
However, all applications should be completed at least
thirty days prior to registration for the academic term
in which aid is desired. Applications completed after this
time cannot be guaranteed to be awarded by registration.
(Please see the semester Schedule of
Classes for registration dates.)
- Scholarship applications for continuing
students should be completed by March 15 before anticipated
enrollment in the fall.
- Enrollment and Financial Aid: To be eligible
for most Federal and State aid, a student must be enrolled
for a minimum of six credit hours within each award period
for which they are applying.
Fall award period: To
be considered half-time, the student must register for and
attend at least six hours in the fall semester. Classes in
the August Mini-Terms may count toward three hours in the
fall semester. Aid for these terms will not be paid until
after the start of fall semester classes.
Note: Regular financial aid is not available for enrollment
in courses which start after regular fall registration closes
(Fall Intramester, Fall Break, and Fall Mini-Terms). However,
some private educational loan assistance may be available.
Contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
Spring award period: To be considered enrolled half-time,
the student must register for and attend at least six hours
during the spring semester. Classes in the December Mini-Term,
Short Winter Term, Long Winter Term, and January Mini-Term
may count for three hours in the spring semester. Aid for
these terms will not be paid until after the start of spring
semester classes.
Note: Regular financial aid is not available for enrollment
in courses which start after regular spring registration closes
(Spring Break and Spring Mini-Terms). However, some private
educational loan assistance may be available. Contact the
Office of Financial Aid for more information.
Summer award period: To be considered enrolled half-time,
the student must register for and attend at least six hours
during the summer terms. Because summer is separate from the
standard academic year, eligible enrollment must fit into
attendance patterns that include at least one-half of the
summer. To be considered for summer assistance, a Summer DBU
Supplemental Application must be submitted by March 15. Contact
the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
