FAFSA and CSS renewal

<p>Hi folks,</p>

<p>Need your help yet again.
My son is now freshman.
He was eligible for financial aid for his freshman year, which help him getting into school he wanted.</p>

<p>However, I am not sure how to proceed next re his sophomore year...
My understanding is that we need to do FAFSA and CSS every year.
Last year we submitted all in January.
When the earliest day we should submit fafsa and css for his sophomore year (2012-2013) is?
Please advice!
Thank you in advance.
Help is much appreciated.</p>

<p>Yes, you have to apply for FA every year. Profile is available now, FAFSA won’t be available until Jan 1.</p>

<p>However, I think a more important question is: when is the LATEST date you can submit?</p>

<p>Go to the FA website for the college your S attends, it will give requirements and deadlines for continuing students. Usually deadlines for continuing students are significantly later than for fr admits and you can often complete taxes before submitting, so that you don’t have to make corrections later.</p>
