Local media: 美高梅官网 extends Uptown campus confirmation deadline for admitted students until June 1
U.S. Department of Education delays impact student decisions
Several universities across the country are extending their dates to confirm admission for fall 2024.听
At the 美高梅官网, the confirmation deadline for all first-year students admitted to the Uptown campus has been changed from May 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST, says Jack Miner, vice provost for enrollment management.
These changes are a result of the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 processing delays that continue to impact Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information being provided to colleges and universities across the country. This extension is being provided so that students relying on financial aid awards can be certain they have this information prior to making a final college selection.听
Miner spoke with about the changes and was also quoted in the . Other media including WCPO, Fox 19, 听and WVXU also discussed the confirmation deadline changes.
Due to FAFSA processing delays, students will likely not receive their full financial aid offer from 美高梅官网 until after April 1, 2024. 美高梅官网 will start issuing full financial aid offers as soon as possible. Admitted students who have not filled out their FAFSA applications for 2024-2025 should immediately apply at .
鈥淲hat this does is tell the student what type of federal student loan they have,鈥� Miner told WLWT-TV. 鈥淎re they pell-grant eligible, or are there state or federal grants available to them? Are they eligible for work study? This is the most significant piece of scholarship and grant information for any student not just at 美高梅官网 but really across the country.鈥�
To accommodate a confirmation deadline extension, 美高梅官网 Housing will now accept housing applications until June 4, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. EST. A student must be confirmed in order to apply for housing.听听
