If you submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year, you should receive an acknowledgement or To Do List email from our office beginning April 2024. If you submitted the CA Dream Act Application (CADAA) for the 2024-2025 academic year, you should receive an acknowledgement or To Do List email from our office beginning late May 2024.
There may be some To Do List items to complete in the MyFA Forms Portal. If so, you will receive an email notification from our office. Please submit items as soon as possible. Students will be able to complete the majority of their To Do List items and upload required documents through MyFA Forms. We expect to begin reviewing complete files once the Department of Educations (ED) opens up that ability to schools.
New Students
Newly admitted undergraduate students without eligibility issues can expect a 2024-2025 award offer to be viewable in MySSU starting April 2024. Newly admitted graduate students without eligibility issues can expect to view their award offers starting the week of May 13, 2024. Financial aid award offers are based on the current data Sonoma State University has received from the Department of Education (ED). If ED makes any updates to the information your award offer is based on and your financial aid eligibility changes, you will receive a modified award offer sent to your email. Students who have not submitted all of the requested information by July 1, 2024 will have their financial aid award offers canceled. After July 1, 2024, financial aid will be awarded once the To Do List items have been submitted and reviewed.
Continuing Students (including Extended Education)
Award offers for the upcoming academic year will be sent out toward the beginning of June 2024 after all tasks have been completed and reviewed in MyFA Forms, and all To Do List items have disappeared from your MySSU To Do List.
