How to send you Fafsa to another college?
I have already finished my fafsa for this year. I applied to a college but didn’t get in. But the good news is I got into a community college so it all worked out. How do I go into my fafsa and send it to the one I got accepted into? Where do I go on the fafsa site?
Nagesh answers:
Log in to the FAFSA site. (FAFSA.gov)
In the middle of the next page, there are 3 bullets, and the middle one says, “Make FAFSA corrections”.
Enter or create your PIN and password.
There are tabs at the top of the page, choose “School Selection”.
Click on “Add a School”

How long do i have to wait until i get a response from FAFSA?
I just submitted an application for FAFSA and in order to apply for any other grants i have to wait for their answers. How long does it take to get a response from FAFSA?
Nagesh answers:
FAFSA is just the name of the form, forms cannot respond, the government will respond. Since you have filled this out late in the game it may take longer, usually a week when they are in peek processing, so it may take longer. After that it goes to the school, they will take 4-8 weeks to return an aid award letter to you.

How long after completing the fafsa do you receive financial aid?
I completed my fafsa sometime last week. I checked today and they still haven’t updated my financial aid status at my school. My classes start October 15th and I am starting to worry that I may not be getting my financial aid in time. How long does it usually take? Also, I tried calling the financial aid advisor but it always goes to voicemail which says, “expect a return call between 24-48hrs.” Still no call :/
Nagesh answers:
You filed insanely late. Insanely.
FAFSA should be completed between January and March to have everything done on time. You will not get anything on time, if at all for this current semester/quarter. FAFSA will take at least 2 months for the paperwork to all be completed and an award determined.
Nancy asks…
Do I have to apply for FAFSA again if im going to start school a semester late?
I applied for FAFSA for the 2010-2011 school year but the thing is that I didn’t end up going to school for the first semester. So I was wondering if I had to do the application for FAFSA all over again.
Nagesh answers:
So i take it you’ll be starting school in the spring of 2011? If so, no you aren’t required to complete a new application because you’ve already completed the 2010-2011 application. What you’ll want to do is make the school aware of the fact that you have completed your application but won’t be starting school until the spring (if this is the case). You WILL need to re-apply for FAFSA every year though, but in this instance you have already completed the application and will be unable to submit a new one until January 2011 and that application is for the 2011-2012 school year..

How does missing the state FAFSA deadline affect my federal aid chances?
My state FAFSA deadline was April 1 but I’ll definately be able to get the federal application done in time. I start grad school in a month. If I filled out the FAFSA now am I in danger of not getting the funds in time?
Nagesh answers:
State deadlines don’t do anything to federal funds (that are all through the government) but specific state funds you probably will not receive because money will have already been given out. Those funds are decided based upon your EFC that FAFSA gives out.
