Just wanted to share a couple of tips for those entering Freshmen who’ve been offered Summer 2020 admission:
[1] Summer 2020 is part of the 2019-20 academic year. So, for financial aid, you will (quickly) want to add a 2019-20 FAFSA to the 2020-21 you should have already entered sometime after October 1st. UCF Financial Aid will present you with two aid packages, one for Summer 2020 and one for the 2020-21 academic year.
[2] Florida Bright Futures expressly is available for Summer 2020 if you expect you are going to qualify for Fall 2020. I woudn’t wait more than a minute after HS graduation to go back to the Florida Financial Aid website and update, in order for UCF Financial Aid to jump on it. The Bright Futures deadline of August 31st obviously won’t help you get funded for Summer 2020, so proceed the moment you are a HS graduate.
Also, jump on your housing application (B session) ASAP for Summer 2020. It’s a separate application from academic 2020-21 (Fall-Spring).
When will decisions come out for summer 2020? my son applied for summer hoping to continue through fall. How does that work with Florida?
Not sure how that works. My son applied for Fall 2020 and was offered Summer 2020 (he accepted). It’s worth a call to admissions office tomorrow. What does his online status show?
The UCF financial aid office advised me of the timing of the award notifications for financial aid for Summer 2020: Late April or May. This compares with the notification for Fall 2020 of late March.
