Can you make corrections to FAFSA after submitting?

If you need to make a correction to your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, you can log in at fafsa.gov using your FSA ID and select Make FAFSA Corrections. Once your correction is submitted and you receive a confirmation number, the correction will be processed in three to five days.

Why can’t I make corrections to my FAFSA?

Updates: If Your Situation Has Changed

Most information cannot be updated because it must be accurate as of the day you originally signed your FAFSA form. For example, if you spent some of your savings after filing the FAFSA form, you may not update your information to show a change in that amount.

How soon can I make corrections to my FAFSA?

You can make updates to the FAFSA up to the deadline — that’s June 30 of the year you need aid for. For 2021-22, all changes to the FAFSA must be completed by June 30, 2022.

How many corrections can you make on FAFSA?

10 schools
School FAFSA® Corrections

You can add or change schools as often as you need to, but no more than 10 schools can be listed on your application at any given time. If you’re applying to more than 10 schools, list the first 10 and wait to receive your SAR, then list additional school codes.

What happens if you accidentally put wrong information on FAFSA?

If you receive federal student aid based on incorrect or fraudulent information, you will have to pay it back. You may also have to pay fines and fees. If you purposely provide false or misleading information on the FAFSA, you may be fined up to $20,000, sent to prison, or both.

What happens if my FAFSA is incorrect?

If you filed for the wrong year, then you’ll need to submit a new FAFSA form for the correct award year to be eligible for aid. The FAFSA form for the incorrect year will also be accepted and applied for that year.
