Financial aid is available to full- and part-time students. The office assists students in securing
financial aid from the federal government, the State of New Jersey and scholarships.
• The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in applying and can be
completed online at
. Staff is available to assist you in completing the FAFSA if
you have questions.
• June 1 is the deadline for state aid for continuing students. Applications are accepted
year round but the earlier you submit the FAFSA the wider range of aid is available to you.
Students must reapply each academic year by submitting a new FAFSA form.
• Changes during the semester in the number of credit hours of enrollment must be reported
to the Financial Aid Office for any student receiving financial aid. Students should check with
the Financial Aid Office before dropping classes or totally withdrawing. Doing this after the
semester begins could result in the loss of some or all financial aid.
The Financial Aid Office is mindful of the effect the struggling economy has had on students. If your
family’s financial situation has changed in the past year please come visit or contact the office to
learn about your options, which could include an Income Appeal.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients (SAP)
It is important to understand that eligibility for Financial Aid requires that you make progress towards
your degree each semester. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) qualifications for Financial Aid
Recipients standards are detailed on the Financial Aid website. Appeal forms for exception to SAP
must be discussed with and signed by an Academic Advisor and submitted to the Financial Aid Office.
