Dual Credit CC FAFSA Q

Paying for College
1

<p>So I'm in HS right now and I've taken DUAL CREDIT classes at my local community college. However, this past semester I took classes that were not dual credit and only counted toward college, on tax payers dime because the city and school district has a deal tthat allows for zero tuition for all HS kids taking ANY class at the local cc. So...on the FAFSA, question 28</p>

<p>When you begin the 2009-2010 school year, what will be your grade level (question 28)?</p>

<p>Should I answer....NEVER ATTENDED COLLEGE/1ST YEAR
or
ATTENDED COLLEGE BEFORE/1ST YEAR</p>

2

<p>In your case, I would suggest putting attended college before/1st year.</p>

3

<p>According to the instructions from the 2008-2009 FAFSA you would put "never attended college/1st year " if you are a HS student.</p>

<p>I don't think it really makes any difference.</p>

<p>No, it really does not make any difference. </p>

<p>I didn't realize the instructions were so clear. How come everyone keeps asking that question?!</p>

<p>I don't think most people know about the detailed instructions. I can't find them for the current FAFSA which is why I keep posting the 2008-2009 ones. s/b mostly the same - except where it's different of course.</p>

<p>Oh I did find the 2009-2010 instructions. They are not available as an HTML file yet to look at online - but can be downloaded as a pdf file from here
