KOKOMO – Ivy Tech Community College in Kokomo is among more than 25 locations across Indiana that are hosting Express Enrollment Days from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Thursday, June 20, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 22. Express Enrollment provides prospective students an easy way to sign up for fall classes and complete outstanding enrollment steps with the assistance of Ivy Tech representatives.

“This is an opportunity to get help in completing important admissions and enrollment steps all in one day, especially with the priority deadline for financial aid for fall coming up July 15,” said Theresa Murphy, acting vice chancellor for Enrollment Services. “Students will be ready for fall classes that begin August 26.”

Angie Martin, director of financial aid for Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Service Area, said, “We are encouraging students and admitted students planning to attend Ivy Tech this fall to come in as soon as possible to complete all the paperwork for financial aid. The June Express Enrollment Days offer a chance to meet the July 15 priority date to assure your financial aid is in place when classes begin.”

Martin continued, “While financial aid applications filed after July 15 will be accepted, the Financial Aid office will prioritize forms filed by the priority date so awarded financial aid will be available when fall classes begin.  Applications filed after July 15 may not be processed by the time classes start, meaning students will have to make other arrangements to cover costs before being reimbursed later in the semester.”

All students seeking federal and state grants, loans and scholarships, as well as other financial awards, must complete the FAFSA form. Information required to file the FAFSA includes dates of birth and Social Security numbers for applicant and parents, household income and tax filing status (i.e., head of household, single, married).  Parent information is required for all students under age 24 unless married or with legal dependents; parents of such students also can come in to an Ivy Tech office and file on behalf of their student.

Ivy Tech recommends that students come with a government-issued photo identification, 2016 and 2017 tax information, and SAT/ACT/PSAT scores and/or high school or college transcripts. Participants are strongly encouraged to RSVP at IvyTech.edu/EEDay, where more information on the process can be found.

For more information, contact Carlee Cook, assistant admissions director, at ccook183@ivytech.edu or 765-252-5487 for the Kokomo Campus event at 1815 E. Morgan St., Kokomo.
