FAFSA Priority Deadline

The FAFSA priority filing deadline is February 1 for all undergraduate students (graduate students are encouraged to file early, too!). The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed and received by the Federal Processing Center by this date to be considered filed on time. Institutional grants, such as the Temple Unviersity Grant, Fly in 4 Grant, and Temple Promise grant all require the FAFSA to be submitted by this date.

There is a reference on the FAFSA/Renewal Application to "State Aid Deadlines." These dates are when the FAFSA must be filed to be considered for aid from your home state. It is NOT the financial aid application deadline at Temple University.

End of Semester Processing

There are federal rules that limit our ability to process aid towards the end of the semester. We cannot reinstate a federal loan once the term in question is over. Please consult the academic calendar for the last day of classes, which is the last day we can reinstate loan funds for that semester.

Professional Judgment Appeals (Cost of Attendance, Satisfactory Academic Progress, Special Circumstances, and Unusual Circumstances) also have dates by which we can no longer accept appeals and complete a review. Please refer to those specific pages for information on those dates.

Late submission of loan requests, loan applications, and appeals are not guaranteed to be reviewed, and are not guaranteed to result in aid. We strongly recommend submitting any and all requests as early in the semester as possible.
