Prepare for Impact!

To help continuing students be financially prepared for Fall semester and ensure course seats and housing are available for students who plan to attend, GSW has implemented a July 1 deadline to complete one of the following:

  • Complete 26-27 FAFSA and verification
  • Set up GSW Nelnet Payment Plan (available June 1)
  • Submit a Tuition Deposit
    • $500 minimum for commuter students
    • $2,500 minimum for housing students

July 1 Deadline FAQs

What if I register after July 1?

If you register after July 1, you are excluded from the July 1 deadline.

Is this for continuing students only?

Yes. This deadline applies only to continuing students. New freshmen and new graduate students are excluded.

Will I be dropped from my Fall courses if I do not complete one of the three choices?

Yes. If you do not complete one of the required options, your courses will be dropped. You will have the opportunity to re-register in RAIN before the add/drop deadline.

Does this replace the August payment deadline?

No. The August payment deadline remains the first day of class. Full payment or enrollment in the Nelnet Payment Plan must be completed by that date to secure your courses.

What if I have a third party paying?

You must submit your third-party billing documents prior to July 1 to secure your schedule. See more information on third party billing at https://www.gsw.edu/student-account/sponsored-billing.

What if I am a TAP recipient?

You must email stuaccts@gsw.edu stating that you will be using TAP for the Fall semester.

What if I am not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid?

Students not meeting SAP requirements may complete a FAFSA, verification, and a SAP Appeal.

  • If the SAP appeal is processed and approved before July 1, your schedule will be secured.
  • If it is not approved before July 1, you must choose one of the other options (Nelnet Payment Plan or Tuition Deposit) to secure your schedule.
