adding schools to fafsa

<p>i know that you're supposed to make corrections, but when i open the corrections thing, there's no option to "add more schools"... and when i check a box for one of the schools and try to correct it, it just shows me the limited list of six schools. how am i supposed to add more schools? thanks.</p>

<p>I think you must wait for your SAR to post or get it by email then you can file the correction.</p>

<p>I got an e-mail confirmation, and it led me to a link that I believe listed my SAR stuff, including my EFC number.</p>

<p>Additional Schools beyond 6
Here is what you do.</p>

<p>Submit FAFSA -- first 6 colleges
Example: Amherst, Bates, Carleton, Duke, Emory, Furman</p>

<p>Wait for SAR - This will be transaction #01</p>

<p>Go online and select "Make Corrections"</p>

<p>Open transaction #01 - delete all 6 college and add new set.
Example: Grinnell, Harvard, Ithaca, Juniata, Knox, Lehigh</p>

<p>Submit - this will be transaction #02</p>

<p>When you get updated info from your taxes, go back to the FAFSA site.</p>

<p>Select "Make Corrections"</p>

<p>Open transaction #01. This is the original SAR that had colleges A,B,C,D,E,F.
Update the financial information with the final numbers from your tax return.
Submit -- this will be transaction #03</p>

<p>Now, open transaction #02. This is the SAR that had colleges G,H,I,J,K,L. It still has the old numbers. Re-enter the updated financial information with the final numbers from your tax return.</p>

<p>Submit -- this is going to be transaction #04.</p>

<p>(If you have more than 12 colleges, adjust instructions accordingly). It is easier to update numbers than add colleges because of the way the web site is set up. It will be also easier in the long run if each FAFSA has a unique set of colleges and you are consistent about maintaining the same sets -- that way you know that every time you need to make a correction to data, you will be doing it to the same number of FAFSA transactions, and you won't have to worry about keeping track of which colleges have received which FAFSA.</p>
