<p>This is a stupid question but I'm not clear on whether or not the parent needs a unique pin for FAFSA. My D signed up for one last fall and I thought we were set. Am I wrong? Do I need to get one for myself too? If I do, am I hosed - in other words, is it too late to do so?</p>
<p>Your student needs their own PIN.</p>
<p>AND one parent also needs their own PIN. So as the parent, you need to get YOUR PIN.</p>
<p>It’s not too late to get one. Just do it right now.</p>
<p>Yes, you need your own PIN. No, it’s not too late. Go to [The</a> PIN Web Site - Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.pin.ed.gov%5DThe”>http://www.pin.ed.gov) & sign up for your PIN. Make up your own PIN and you will be able to sign the FAFSA with it in a day or so (sometimes it will process very quickly & allow you to sign sooner).</p>
<p>Ok, I just signed up. Thanks everyone!</p>
