We’re ready when you are:

The changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) this year have delayed the timeline for when colleges and universities send out full financial aid award packages (aside from your merit aid, which was included in your acceptance letter). To give you the time you need to review everything, we’re extending our deposit deadline – which is traditionally May 1 – to June 1.

Visit sage.edu/deposit to secure your spot. You’ll need your Student ID to make it official. You received this via email after your acceptance. If you can’t find it, no problem, reach out to us at [email protected].

We know, this is the boring part but totally necessary! If you haven’t done so already submit your 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using 2022 income information to apply for federal financial aid like work-study, grants, and loans. Make sure to use the Russell Sage College Federal School Code 002810.

The changes to the FAFSA have delayed the timeline for when colleges and universities send out full financial aid award packages. Once we have the information from the FAFSA, you will receive a full financial aid package shortly after. This information will be mailed to you, but can also be found in your Passport Account. You’ll need to make an account using your Sage credentials that were sent to you in your acceptance letter. If you can’t find it, no problem, reach out to us at [email protected].

It is important to visit campus as an accepted student (even if you have already done so prior to your acceptance). This year we are hosting two Accepted Student Days – Saturday, February 24 and Saturday, April 20. Find the full list of accepted student events and registration details at sage.edu/visit.

Make sure you’ve submitted official transcripts from any college of university you previously attended. This will notify our Registrar office so they can evaluate your transcripts and let you know what credits transfer to Sage ( and you’ll know how long it will take to finish your degree)! Reach out to our dedicated transfer counselor, Ray Rodriguez with questions.
