Financial Aid Deadlines

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Sup, guys.</p>

<p>So we submitted the last part of financial aid, the IDOC, on the evening of Feb27. Naturally, the Columbia portal is still marked as not having received the tax return and W2 forms. Since the IDOC is to be mailed (no uploading? Alas, the other electronic submission options spoil me.), I'm wondering whether the Mar1 financial aid deadline referred to our postmark date for everything or...yikes, Columbia's reception of everything.</p>

<p>I realize I'm almost asking for reassurance at this point (what can I do? Mar1 has come and gone, in any case.), but I'd still very much like to clarify some things here. For example, if Columbia doesn't receive everything by the deadline, are we still eligible for any financial aid? :(</p>

<p>Thank you to those who read this! Bit worried.</p>

<p>Check now. If they aren’t in, fax said documents.</p>

<p>Our 2012 tax returns aren’t done yet so not able to complete the IDOC. Will be another week, at the minimum. I guess we’re screwed. Only the Ivys are asking for it. The other schools are OK with our 2011 returns. Anyone else in this position or experienced it in previous years?</p>
