Deadlines

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Rowan College will accept FAFSAs on a rolling basis during the academic year. However, it cannot guarantee that students filing their applications after the May 1 priority deadline will have their financial aid awarded by the fall and/or spring payment due dates.

  • May 1, 2020 – priority deadline; students are encouraged to complete 2020-2021 FAFSA by this date.

  • June 30, 2021 – final deadline for filing the 2020-2021 FAFSA. (This is an important date for students attending Rowan College for the summer 2020 term. The Rowan College (Gloucester) federal school code 006901 must be added to the 2018-2019 FAFSA before June 30.)

Helpful Tip: The best time to complete the FAFSA is three weeks after students/parents 
file their tax returns but before the May 1 priority deadline. Allowing three weeks after the taxes are filed will permit use of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Successfully using this option facilitates verification and might enable your file to be processed sooner than the typical 30-day timeframe. ​
