  4. Find out the cost to attend UCF and begin planning

    College planning starts well before your first semester. Check out our cost of attendance page and our net price calculator to begin planning.

  5. Check your to-do list

    The To-Do List contains items that you may need to complete for the Office of Student Financial Assistance or other offices at UCF. Students receiving financial aid should regularly check their To-Do List on myUCF in the Student Center.

  6. Complete verification

    After you have submitted your FAFSA, the Department of Education selects students to submit additional documents in order to determine eligibility for aid, this process is commonly called verification. Documents required to complete the review process are listed on the student’s To-Do List on myUCF. Learn more about verification and completion.

  7. Receive a Financial Aid Summary

    UCF begins notifying incoming freshmen and transfer students of their estimated financial aid packages in early March. Continuing students will receive an email notification beginning in late March. All notifications will be sent to your Knights email, so be sure to check that account regularly.
