Anyone else (such as a parent or spouse) who will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA must have their own FSA ID and valid email address. If the student or any others contributing information to the FAFSA do not have their FSA ID, get one now by going to Studentaid.gov and creat e an account (which creates an FSA ID) today. If someone does not have a Social Security Number, they can still obtain an FSA ID; see How to Get an FSA ID for Individuals Without a Social Security Number ( Spanish version ). If you are still unable to obtain an FSA ID or submit the FAFSA online, please see guidance here. Priority filing dates Federal financial aid information: In prior years, we set February 1 as the priority date for submitting the FAFSA; typically, this date is used to help ensure financial aid files are complete in sufficient time to have financial aid offers determined and notifications delivered ahead of the start of the Fall semester. We also used this priority date to offer Federal Work-Study funds. However, we recognize the delayed opening of the 2024-25 FAFSA this year also likely delayed many students and families being able to complete and submit the FAFSA timely. For the 2024-25 school year, we are moving our priority application date to August 1, 2024. Please note we will continue to review all FAFSAs we receive in the date order of when they were submitted (the federal processor tells us this date when they send the processed FAFSA to us). It is important to keep in mind two points to help improve your chances for receiving a comprehensive financial aid package in advance of the start of the Fall 2024 semester—(1) the sooner you submit your FAFSA, the better; and (2) monitor your Umail and the Financial Aid tile in CIS for any requests for additional documentation or information needed to complete your financial aid file. Currently, we hope to begin releasing comprehensive offers in early May. Note that these dates are subject to change depending upon the timing of when the federal processor delivers FAFSA results to institutions. For Utah Scholarship information (both new students interested in being considered for eligibility, as well as continuing students who are recipients): Complete and submit the 2024-25 FAFSA by August 1, 2024 to ensure consideration for eligibility for the For Utah scholarship for the 2024-25 school year. Be sure to closely monitor your CIS and Umail account for follow-up requests or requirements to complete your University of Utah financial aid file before the first day of classes for the Fall 2024 semester (i.e., August 19, 2024).
