2026-27 Financial Aid Processing Temporarily Delayed

In late April the U.S. Department of Education (Federal Student Aid) updated the 2026-27 FAFSA ISIR layout, adding new fields, as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3/OBBA) changes.  As a result, software updates need to be made by the various software vendors used by colleges before any new FAFSA information can be processed by the schools.  This is an issue impacting institutions nationwide, not just CUNY.
New or updated 2026-27 FAFSA information submitted after April 23, 2026 has not been loaded to CUNYFirst and new financial aid offers for the 2026-27 academic year have been temporarily paused.

The required changes have now been made to our software system by Oracle, CUNY's software vendor, and processing is tentatively scheduled to resume at campuses sometime the week of June 15th.
All financial aid applicants should continue to monitor their CUNYFirst Student Center and check their college email account.
