University of Tennessee Extends Enrollment Deadline Amid FAFSA Delays

Posted on April 16, 2024

Knoxville, TN (WOKI / WVLT) The University of Tennessee is extending its enrollment confirmation deadline amid delays in processing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The Department of Education’s change in the distribution of FAFSA information to universities across the country has resulted in delays in financial aid information for students and families, meaning they have less time to decide where to go to school.

“We are fully committed to providing unwavering support to our students by extending the confirmation deadline, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their college choices. Our team remains committed to welcoming and assisting the newest members of our Volunteer family. We will continue our efforts to meet our students’ needs wherever they are,” said Kari Alldredge, vice provost for the Division of Enrollment Management.

New incoming students who have finished the FAFSA are expected to get their financial aid packages from UT in late April. The new deadline is May 15, 2024.
