Make Corrections to FAFSA

Q: Can I make corrections to my FAFSA after I completed and submitted the form?

A: Yes, you can use the FAFSA Corrections on the Web tool at:

www.fafsa.ed.gov

Once online, click the link titled: Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA

With the exception of your Social Security Number, you can change your answers to any FAFSA questions using Corrections on the Web.

TIP: Certain questions, especially those pertaining to your financial information and marital status, should not be updated. They should only be changed if they were incorrect as of the day the FAFSA was submitted the first time.

If you feel you have unusual circumstances that should be considered after your FAFSA is processed, you should contact your school financial aid office to find out how you might be able to correct your application.

If the information you entered on your FAFSA was incorrect as of the day you signed the FAFSA, you can use Corrections on the Web to correct your answers.

You cannot change:

1. Your Social Security Number (SSN). If your SSN is incorrect, you must complete a new application with the correct SSN.

2. Your financial information, unless it was incorrect as of the day the FAFSA was submitted.

3. Your marital status, unless it was incorrect as of the day the FAFSA was submitted.

If you feel you have unusual circumstances that should be considered after your FAFSA is processed, you should contact your school financial aid office to find out how you might be able to correct your application.

Q: I submitted a paper FAFSA. Can I use Corrections on the Web?

A: Yes, as long as you have a Federal Student Aid PIN. If you provided a valid e-mail address on your FAFSA, you should have received a PIN e-mail. If you did not provide an e-mail address, you should have received a PIN in the mail.
