<p>Hi, I am a high school senior filling out the FAFSA for the first time.</p>
<p>When I first started my FAFSA, I selected, by mistake, to file under the 2008-2009 school year. Does anyone know how I can change it to 2009-2010? Or is it possible that I filed for the correct year? I am planning to enter college in Sept. of 2009.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>No - the 2008-2009 FAFSA is not the correct one for fall 2009. You will have to complete the 2009-2010 FAFSA. This is not available until January 1st. </p>
<p>Usually when you start a new FAFSA it asks you if you have done FAFSA previously (as far as I can remember it is after you enter your personal info). Then it gives you the option to transfer a lot of the info - addresses etc - to the new FAFSA. So try that. I don't know if it will work if you did not complete the whole form and submit it. Also the 2009-2010 FAFSA has a lot of changes so I don't know if this option will still be available.</p>
<p>So there is no way for me to fill out the 2009-2010 FAFSA now?</p>
<p>no, it will be available very soon after Jan 1, 2009</p>
