The Visitor Center will be closed to the public from December 16-20. Our staff will be available for phone calls and emails.

The FAFSA is usually available starting October 1, and we usually ask Early Action applicants to submit the FAFSA by November 1. Based on significant changes to the FAFSA made by the Department of Education, the 25-26 FAFSA is not expected to open until late 2024. For this reason, we have not asked Early Action applicants to submit the 25-26 FAFSA until February 1, 2025. There are no changes to Regular Action or Transfer application deadlines, nor to the deadlines for current Harvard students.
