Priority Processing Dates

NWACC has priority deadlines each semester to help make sure your financial aid is ready before your payment is due.  To meet the deadline, your FAFSA must be submitted, all required steps completed, and you must be eligible for aid.  

• Fall and Summer semesters: May 1
• Spring semester: November 1

FAFSA typically opens October 1 for the next school year.  For example, the FAFSA for fall 2026 should be available starting October 1, 2025.
