Important Information for Students with a Pending United States Permanent Residency Status:

Prospective Students:

• Must document permanent residency by the admission deposit deadline. If you will not be able to document permanent residency status, you are not eligible for financial aid.
• If granted permanent residency later in the academic year, you will be considered for financial aid at that time. Be sure to submit a complete financial aid application.

Continuing Students:

• Must document permanent residency with financial aid application.
• If documentation comes in after the start of the academic year, you will be considered for financial aid at that time.
