Submitting the FAFSA

Before you start: 

  • If you are considered a for federal aid purposes, you will need to provide information about your legal parent(s) on the FAFSA. If your parents are divorced, separated, or never married, and don鈥檛 live together, the parent who provided more financial support during the last 12 months is the contributor and must provide their information on the FAFSA.
  • Dependent students and their parent contributor(s) will each need their own to access the FAFSA and complete their required sections. If you already have a StudentAid.gov account, log in using that (don鈥檛 create a new one).
  • Read more about on the StudentAid.gov website.

Logging in to the FAFSA:

  • Two-step verification is required either by using an authenticator app or a code sent via text or email.

After you submit the FAFSA:

  • After you submit your 2025鈥26 FAFSA, you鈥檒l receive a confirmation email from the Department of Education with preliminary information related to your eligibility for federal student aid.
