Important:
Due to changes required under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the U.S. Department of Education will implement system updates beginning April 26, 2026. As a result, colleges and universities nationwide will experience a temporary pause in their ability to receive and process 2026–2027 FAFSA information.
Students who submit the FAFSA on or after April 26, 2026, should expect delays in receiving their 2026–2027 financial aid package. In addition, students who add Rutgers as a school on their FAFSA on or after this date may also experience delays.
