<p>I am having the same issues, when I click to log in- it shows an error message. Is it that there are too many people trying to access the site or what?</p>
<p>“For us, RPI and Lehigh have Feb 1 deadlines”</p>
<p>sus, do you interpret the 2-1 deadline to be fafsa (and/or css) and any other required materials need to be submitted or mailed (post marked) on or before 2/1 , which is 11.59 pm, 2/1, est?</p>
<p>I got through everything and couldn’t submit. I kept getting the error message pages from 10 this evening to after midnight. The site warned of access problems due to heavy user loads on due dates. After rebooting and reopening my browser several times I opened an old AOL program and managed to get right in and submit. Now I will wait and see how long until the confirming email and SAR take to come back. On to the CSS forms. :-(</p>
<p>I was having this problem yesterday. Just now, I scooted on, clicked through to make sure everything was answered, & submitted! The whole thing was surprisingly smooth & took 3 minutes. Point being, don’t worry - just try periodically, maybe aim for off hours, if possible. Worse comes to worst, I bet the FA offices could be contacted & simply told about the problem. I’m sure they’ll know about it & go through the same thing every year.</p>
<p>@roderick, I submitted the FAFSA (“will file” taxes) on Saturday January 29, so as to not be pushing the envelope for due dates. I honestly don’t know if the “actual” due date is last night at midnight, or tonight. I still have to finish our taxes and refile a correction, plus I also have a rising college junior to complete (returning students have later due dates).</p>
<p>I have filled out at least one FAFSA every year since 2004, and know that every year at the major due dates the FAFSA website struggles, so I play it safe.</p>
<p>I got in today & had no problem sending it so I hoped it made the Feb 1 deadline for Harvard. It’s still Feb 1 so it seems like it should be OK…</p>
<p>I think it is down again – I keep getting error messages. :(</p>
<p>So, I got in long enough to pretty much finish the entire form, then it decided to go down again. Praying that it saved this time. Yay.</p>
<p>Anyone having luck?</p>
<p>K just submitted mine, phew!</p>
<p>I spoke to a FAFSA rep, they said the deadline is usually on Feb 1 at 11:59 pm, not midnight janraury 31 going into Feb 1. So you have the whole day Feb 1 to do it. Good luck everyone, hope I helped some people relax</p>
<p>Is the FAFSA site down for anyone else? I keep getting an error message when I select “start here”.</p>
<p>FAFSA is down again…tried numerous times and when you click the main link, it gives an error message!</p>
<p>When it was down last week, I sometimes had luck when I restarted my computer. Otherwise, just wait 5-10 minutes and it should come back up. Be sure to save often!</p>
