FAFSA TIPS- FSAID

You will need to create an FSA ID, directions are on the FAFSA. This is your electronic signature. The process will verify your phone number and email address.

An FSAID is required before you can use the IRS data transfer tool which is the best way to add your and your parents tax information from the year required 

Note that income information is two prior years - all other information for the FAFSA is as of the day you are filling it out.

 FAFSA TIPS - FILLING OUT THE FAFSA

If you answer all questions in Step 3 section with "NO" you are considered dependent and your parent will also need to provide information. 

Campus selection is 042067 Cincinnati location. E40495 Houston campus  and E40501  South Point campus

You have not successfully submitted the FAFSA until until you see the Completion Confirmation page

Please make sure you have contacted admissions at the campus so that you can be on the list of potential starts for your anticipated class date.  That is required before financial aid can contact you with your eligibility as determined by the FAFSA
