• The following students are exempted from this requirement: International Students with a visa, DACA Students, Early Admissions Students, Non-degree seekers, and Undocumented Students.
• The 2026-2027 FAFSA form covers Fall 2026, Spring 2027, and Summer 2027 semesters, depending on your eligibility.
