<p>My son will be going into his 5th year undergraduate next year for one semester (fall). We applied for Financial Aid with him being a dependent and also including our (his parents information) on the FASFA. He is thinking now about continuing on to graduate school at the same school for the spring semester. He will have to pay for graduate school on his own. How does he handle this now? Does he file another FASFA? The FASFA we filed already is for the 2014-2015 school year and does not allow us to show it as one semester undergraduate and being our dependent and one semester graduate and him being independent. Has anyone had this situation before? Also, any other advise to help make the cost easier for him alone?</p>
<p>you should post this query on the Financial Aid forum and ask for Swimcatsmom’s help- she is the CC FA guru!

<p>He also can ask at his own university’s financial aid office. They probably have dealt with this many times.</p>
<p>This was double posted already…it’s on the financial,aid,forum already.</p>
<p>I did post it on the Financial Aid forum too. But I know some of the parents are very knowledgeable to I hope it was ok to put on both. </p>
