In fact, you don’t even have to remove schools if your child later decides not to apply or attend. If your child doesn’t end up applying or getting accepted to a school, the school can just disregard his or her FAFSA form. You can remove schools at any time to make room for new schools. If your child is applying to more than 10 schools, here’s what you should do. While the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is the student’s application, we know that parents often play a large role in the process. After all, students who are considered dependent have to provide parental information on the FAFSA form anyway and must have a parent sign it.
Federal Student Aid User ID passwords must be changed every 90 days. Any password that is older than 90 days will automatically expire. As we work together to make college or career school a reality for millions of students across the country, we continue to be grateful for your hard work and support.
Supply your financial information.
You will no longer be required to enter a one-time PIN each time you enter your username and password from this particular computer or device. You will need to enter that one-time PIN on the next page to access your account online. You will have the option to have the system remember this computer or device so you can bypass this process whenever you access your account from this particular computer or device in the future. In the School Selection section, you’ll add all the schools you want to receive your child’s information. It is important that you add every school your child is considering, even if he or she hasn’t applied or been accepted yet. It doesn’t hurt to add more schools; colleges can’t see the other schools that have been added.
If you have multiple children who need to complete the FAFSA form, you can use the same FSA ID to sign FAFSA forms for all of your children. You can also transfer your information into your other children’s applications by choosing the option provided on the FAFSA confirmation page. Even if your child doesn’t live with you, supports him or herself, and files taxes separately from you, he or she may still be considered a dependent student for federal student aid purposes. To access eCDR Appeals and Experimental Sites select the 'Registration'link at the FSA login page and complete the registration process. The username and password combination you entered is not valid.
Want to receive partner email updates from Federal Student Aid?
If you’re eligible, you’ll see an option to “Link to IRS.” Choose that option and follow the prompts. Can I share my user ID and password with someone else? Your user ID and your password private and are for your use only and must remain confidential. You must not disclose your password to anyone, including your supervisor and you must take steps to prevent anyone from finding out your password. Sharing your user ID with another person is a serious violation of security. If you fail to keep login information confidential, your user ID will be terminated and you or organization could lose access to FSA systems.
You may change your password by clicking on the 'Change Password'link from the login page at any time, or by clicking the 'Change Password' button when prompted from the password notification page. I know that applying for federal student aid can be a stressful experience, but don’t worry! You can go to StudentAid.gov/fsaid and it will provide some super helpful information such as what you should gather beforehand, and a link to create your own FSA ID—plus it will walk you through the entire process. To ensure the security of your account, you will be required to enter a one-time PIN each time you enter your username and password from this particular computer or device.

You may also change your password anytime using the 'Change Password' link located on the FSA login page. One of your parents might need an FSA ID as well. If you’re considered a dependent student and need to provide information about your parents on the FAFSA, one of your parents will have to sign the application. He or she can sign electronically with his or her own FSA ID.
Your FSA ID will be locked after three unsuccessful login attempts. When the password is unlocked 30 minutes later, you can try again or you can select the 'Forgot Password' link at the FSA Login page and answer the challenge questions. What happens next is that ED checks your information with the Social Security Administration to make sure it matches. During that time, you will only be able to use your FSA ID to sign your new FAFSA (that’s the main thing though, so don’t stress).
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the first step in the financial aid process. You use it to apply for Federal student financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study. In addition, most states and schools use information from the FAFSA to award non-federal aid. If you try to access one of the Federal Student Aid systems protected by the Access and Identity Management System , you will be required to read and accept the Federal Student Aid's Rules of Behavior. The Rules of Behavior display once per day when you log in for the first time that day.
Make sure you and your child don’t mix up your FSA IDs. This is one of the most common errors we see, and why it’s extremely important for each person to create his/her own FSA ID and not share it with anyone. We recommend that you and your child register for FSA IDs ahead of time, so you don’t experience delays later in the process.
If you don’t remember your PIN or didn’t have one, don’t worry. There is no limit to the number of computers / devices that can be remembered for your account. Your child is one step closer to getting money for college. With the hard part over, learn what your child should do next after submitting the FAFSA form. This is where you’ll provide your own demographic information. List the schools to which you want your FAFSA® information sent.
Our mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. If your child filed taxes, the easiest way to complete this section is to use the IRS DRT. Your child would need to be present because he or she needs to provide his or her FSA ID to use the tool. Your FSA ID serves as your legal electronic signature throughout the federal student aid process.
Linking your PIN can save you time because your information won’t have to be matched by the Social Security Administration if it was already matched when you created your PIN. If that’s the case, then your FSA ID is ready for full use right away—which means you’ll be able to sign a Master Promissory Note for a student loan, or fill out your Renewal FAFSA, right away. The application is available until June 30, 2023—but be sure to remind your students that some funds are limited, so it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible.
If I get locked out by AIMS, can I access the system by starting from a different site? Your user ID will be inoperable and you will not be able to gain access to any Federal Student Aid systems secured behind AIMS. You must wait 30 minutes before trying to use the same password again. When the password is unlocked 30 minutes later, you can try again or you can select the "Forgot Password" link at the FSA Login page and answer the challenge questions.
