COORDINATING BOARD
P.O. Box 12788 Austin, Texas 78711
The Coordinating Board would like to clarify that the determination as to whether a
student meets the March 15 statewide deadline is made by the individual
institution. Furthermore, and particularly given the current FAFSA situation, the
March 15 priority deadline does not prevent an institution from choosing to extend
priority to an additional group of students who meet an institutionally set deadline
that occurs after March 15. Given the challenges being faced by students due to
the problems with the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, we encourage institutions to
determine a course of action that is in the best interest of their students.
