We're upgrading your Student Portal! Log in and new applications are unavailable now through end of day July 6 (CT)— that's when you'll return to an easier, improved system.

Already working on a form? Anything you submitted before June 30 carried over automatically. Forms that were started but not submitted don't transfer, but don't worry, you'll find the same forms waiting for you in the new portal on July 6. For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form.

Thank you for your patience during this transition! We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.
