Student Eligibility

To receive aid from most federal and state financial aid programs, students must meet certain requirements. All students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually, before March 1, to determine eligibility. The FAFSA results are required for many programs. The federal processor, using a standardized formula, calculates financial need. Those results are then forwarded to the schools that were identified on the form as considered for attendance. UCF must be listed on the FAFSA in order to receive the data. UCF’s Title IV code is 003954. Regulations are subject to change at any time.
