FAFSA Corrections
It's not too late to fix your FAFSA
To assist you in making changes to your FAFSA, we have prepared the following “FAFSA Corrections Guide.” The guide will step you through the corrections process. It includes helpful contact information—phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and websites—that you can refer to should you require additional assistance.
How to Make Changes to Your FAFSA
Once your FAFSA has been submitted to the federal processor, the student and one parent (if the student is a dependent) must sign the FAFSA before any corrections can be made.
Once the FAFSA is signed and fully processed, you have several options for making changes (each outlined in further detail below):
Online FAFSA Corrections. Online corrections are the fastest way to update your application. With a student PIN, you can correct anything on the application except for the student’s date of birth*. If the student is a dependent, a parent PIN is also helpful, but it’s not required for corrections.
Paper FAFSA Corrections. You can correct any item on the FAFSA with a 10-page Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR is generated upon request.
Phone FAFSA Corrections. You can add a college to your FAFSA or update your mailing address by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1.800.433.3243. You will need to provide the Data Release Number (DRN) that appears on the SAR in order for them to assist you.
* Note: If you made a mistake in entering the student’s date of birth, you will need to make corrections using the 10-page, paper Student Aid Report. If you made a mistake in entering your Social Security Number, or if a misspelling of the student’s last name affected the first two letters of the last name, please phone us at 1.866.514.6051 to speak with one of our Student Aid Advisors. You may need to submit a new FAFSA to avoid potential confusion, and we will guide you through this process.
