Financial Aid Deadline Worries

<p>I submitted my FAFSA form today (1/31) but I have to mail the signature in which will take a couple days. The college I sent it to has a deadline of February 1st. Will they see that I submitted the FAFSA before that date, even though I have to submit the signature?</p>

<p>Yes. You will still have to submit your signature page, but the FAFSA will process as of today's date.</p>

<p>Pheew. Big Relief off my shoulders. Thank you.</p>

<p>Can't you do the PIN number though? And NOT a written signature page?</p>

<p>OP must not have a PIN yet, for whatever reason.</p>

<p>So I am right? Because my parents and I had a PIN. Now I'm worried that I have to send a real signature in.</p>

<p>Nope. You're all set. Signature pages are just for those who are unable to sign with an electronic PIN at the time they submit the FAFSA.</p>

<p>if i submit the fafsa tomorrow, 02/1, will colleges still accept it for the feb 1 deadline?</p>

<p>If the deadline is 2/1, you will make the deadline.</p>

<p>Yeah, I didn't know about the PIN number thing so I tried signing up today. Didn't received the PIN number verification email yet so I just went with the signature.</p>
