Understanding Your Financial Aid Offer
Once your FAFSA has been submitted, completed and reviewed, the ÌÇÐÄVlog Office of Student Financial Aid will offer students according to their financial aid eligibility. The ÌÇÐÄVlog priority deadline is April 1st. For the upcoming academic year, which begins with the FALL semester, students will be notified of any student requirements needed through their myÌÇÐÄVlog.
Keep in mind that once the Financial Aid Offering process begins, the Financial Aid offer given is based on full-time enrollment for the FALL and SPRING semesters. After the drop/add deadline of each semester, is when your actual enrollment will be determined and the funds will begin to disburse.Ìý
As an ÌÇÐÄVlog student, you are responsible for keeping track of your financial aid file, before and after you receive your offer.

- Check your ÌÇÐÄVlog email account regularly. This is how the financial aid office communicates with students.
- If selected for Verification, remember that your eligibility may change as a result of documentation submitted.

Please notify us, if you have any resources or scholarships that were given directly to you. Other resources that may affect your eligibility are: Florida PrePaid, Third Party payments, SSN or military benefits.
