1098-T Tax Information for 2011 Now Available
You can now view and print your 1098-T Tax Information for the 2011 tax year from PCSTAR. The 2011 IRS 1098-T forms will be in the U.S. mail by Friday, January 27, 2012 for qualifying students. Please check your Purdue University Calumet email for details.
Submit your 2012-13 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at http://www.fafsa.gov by March 10, 2012
By meeting this important deadline you will not only be considered for Federal financial aid, but Purdue University Calumet (PUC) and the State of Indiana will also determine your eligibility for additional financial aid.
Filing the FAFSA for 2012-13 is now easier than ever! If you have already filed your ( your parents) 2011 Federal Tax Return, you may give permission on your FAFSA to have your (your parents) tax information downloaded directly to the FAFSA by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
- By doing this you will no longer have to provide a copy of your Federal Tax Return to the Office of Financial Aid and Student Accounts.
- If you choose not to do this, you may have to provide an IRS Tax Transcript from the IRS to the Office of Financial Aid and Student Accounts. Copies of Federal Tax Returns will no longer be acceptable documentation for financial aid purposes.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Statuses Updated
