Due to the major overhaul of the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), the office of Federal Student Aid
experienced many challenges causing unexpected processing delays.
Barring any further delays from Federal Student Aid, we
anticipate importing processed FAFSA applications the week of
April 15. If we need additional information, you will be notified
by COTC email as soon as possible after importing your FAFSA.
Students with a file complete status should begin to receive
financial aid notifications the week of April 22. Completing the
FAFSA is a crucial step in securing financial assistance for your
education. If you have not submitted the 2024-2025 FAFSA yet,
there is still time! Visit the official FAFSA website.
We are committed to helping you access the resources you
need to succeed academically and will provide financial aid
notifications as quickly as possible.
