2. 2017-2018 FAFSA Changes

Students will be able to submit a 2017-2018 FAFSA as early as October 1, 2016, rather than waiting until January 1, 2017. The earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling students to complete and submit their FAFSAs as early as October 1 every year. Beginning with the 2017-2018 FAFSA, students will report income and tax information from an earlier tax year.  If your circumstances allow, please use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing your FAFSA. Please file on or as close to October 1 as possible as some aid programs award financial aid on a first come first serve basis. For any questions regarding filling out your FAFSA please contact the Student Financial Aid Office at (502) 852-5511 or finaid@louisville.edu.

3. Absence Notification

Students and instructors are encouraged to deal directly with one another concerning all student absences. However, in the event students find they must be away from classes due to a sudden illness, emergency, or death in the family and are unable to make contact with their instructor(s), they may request an Instructor Notification by contacting the Dean of Students Office (DOS) at 852-5787 or dos@louisville.eduhttp://louisville.edu/dos/facultystaff/absence-notification

4. Excused Absences Policy

The Excused Absences Policy allows students to be absent from class when they participate in university-sanctioned events. These university-sanctioned events include but are not limited to student government congresses, intercollegiate athletic and debate contests, music competitions, academic meetings and conferences. When students’ participation in university-sanctioned events or activities requires them to be absent from a class (or classes) during which an examination or other measurement of academic progress is scheduled, faculty will provide students with opportunities to be evaluated at other times and by comparable alternative evaluation methods within a reasonable period of time prior to or after the absence. For more information, please refer to: http://louisville.edu/provost/policies/classroom/classroom-policies/#excusedabsences.
