I will be entering college in the fall of 2018. I decided to make a FAFSA account just do have it but I learned that it opens October 1st. Is it okay if I have a FAFSA account now or do I have to wait till October 1st? If it isn’t okay, is there a way to delete my FAFSA account? Thanks!
If you submitted a FAFSA, it was for this school year. Don’t worry about it, no schools will pull it for review since you didn’t apply for schools for this year.
If you created a FSA ID, that’s fine and it is what you will use for the next 4 years. When the FAFSA opens in Oct., you’ll be ready to go.
If you borrow loans in college, you’ll use your FSA ID for MANY years! My public service announcement for the day: If you borrowed loans and have not yet repaid them in full, you can access your loan information at www.nslds.ed.gov. Happy Friday!
Okay, thank you guys!! @twoinanddone @kelsmom
