Deadlines Related Notes

When you ask your school or organization for a deadline let them explain what the deadline actually means. Check if it is the receipt date and time or the process date and time of the application. This can vary.

If you're submitting online be sure to print the confirmation page which contains date and time of the submission.

In order to be accepted transactions must be completed by midnight to meet the deadline. Do not wait too long to submit your application. It could be rejected and you'll miss the deadline.
