Deadlines for Mailing in FA Forms?

So I’m required to fill out basically every form they want, and for the most part, the deadline is Feb. 15th. The business/farm supplement is due on the 1st though, and I’m just wondering do they have to get it by then? Or does it just have to be postmarked by then? I’ve been trying to get my mom to fill it out for a couple weeks now but it’s been slow going to say the least. She had to wait on some information to fill out her balance sheet for 2014 so she’s just now getting that done. Hopefully I’ll have it done within the next couple of days, but I just don’t know if it would get to Lehigh by the 1st. Am I fine if I get it sent off before/on the 1st but it just gets to them a few days later?

@nerdfighter23, tell your mom to estimate the numbers as closely as possible so you can submit the forms by the deadline. They will require actual returns later anyway. You can actually upload the forms directly to their website through the “LU FileSender”. If you are worried about the deadline, your best bet is simply to call the FA office and ask. 610-758-3181. They don’t bite!

Oh really? So you mean I could fill them out and like scan them or something and then upload it so they will have it immediately? I didn’t know I could do that. I just thought I had to mail them because you can’t type into the pdf itself.

Okay I googled that and I’m assuming I would use the one from the link on the financial aid page and not the general forms one? This will make it so much easier if I give them the forms this way!
