Answer

The FAFSA is for a full academic year which at the University of Arizona, covers the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer semesters. For example, if you filed the 2025-2026 FAFSA, that covers Fall 2025, Winter 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026 semesters.  In addition, you do not need to contact our office to notify us of your change in enrollment plans but you should contact your Academic Advisor and review all tuition refund dates and deadlines
