<p>Hey, I submitted my FAFSA and CSS so I just need to send in my documents to IDOC. On one of my college's website, it says I should hand my IDOC stuff by Feb 15th but the instructions from IDOC says by March 1st. Which one should I abide by?</p>
<p>You could call and ask the school about the discrepancy. My guess is that March 1st is the due date that the college communicated to IDOC as their deadline. On their website they may be asking you to get get it submitted a bit ahead of that so as to allow some processing time from when you send it in to when it actually all gets scanned and transmitted by IDOC to them.</p>
<p>Unless there’s some reason you can’t, go with the earlier deadline. If that’s not possible, call the school and ask if March 1st is okay.</p>
