Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Whether you just took a semester off from SFA or attended another school years ago, we want to make it as flexible as possible for you to finish your degree at SFA. Have you changed your major multiple times in the past? Consider exploring a Bachelor of Science in general studies - your previous course credits may mean that you are closer to your degree than you think!

When is the application deadline?
SFA is a rolling admissions university, meaning there is no application deadline. But, you can apply any time – as early as one year before enrollment. Applying early gives returning students better access to grants, work-study and loans.
When will I hear back?
Decision letters should arrive within 2-3 weeks. Your former mySFA account will still be active, and once you’re readmitted you’ll have full student access.
After you apply, don’t forget:
Log on to your mySFA account right away. Financial aid awards, housing assignments, orientation confirmation and class registration are all done through mySFA. Plus, you’ll have access to the Microsoft Office Suite.
Get started early! You don’t have to be admitted to apply for aid and scholarships. Learn more about the different aid options that may be available to you, like grants, loans, scholarships and more.
If you’re returning to SFA, it’s likely that you already have a bacterial meningitis vaccine on file with the university. You are not required to resubmit a shot record.
Any new students with no vaccination record on file must have a bacterial meningitis vaccine at least 10 days prior to enrollment. You must submit your shot record to the Office of Admissions by email, fax or mail using the contact information below.
Use mySFA to apply for housing as soon as you finish your admissions application. Returning students that are at least 21 years old, or have 60 earned college hours, may apply for an off-campus permit.
