Six Good Tips

Tip 1: Be sure to use the correct year's forms when completing the FAFSA and Dominican Aid Application.  The 2008-09 forms cover enrollment periods for Summer 2008, Fall 2008, and Spring 2009.

Tip 2:  Dominican's priority deadline for most programs is March 2 of each year.

Tip 3:  Send verification and tax forms only if requested to do so.

Tip 4: Verification forms must be fully completed and signed; please be sure to check that no items have been left blank before sending the forms to Dominican.

Tip 5:  If you use estimated income information on the FAFSA, be sure to make a correction to the information as soon as your actual income information is available.

Tip 6:  If you are new applicant for the CAL Grant, be sure to complete your FAFSA and submit your CAL Grant GPA Verification form in advance of the March 2 deadline.  The California Student Aid Commission does not make exceptions to the March 2 deadline.
