Question regarding correction in FAFSA.

Paying for College
1

<p>The financial aid admin at my school made a correction to the papers/information I turned in a few days ago and I have just received an email about the amendments to the info given. I went online to the FAFSA website to view what changes were made and noticed that it was the degree/program that was changed.</p>

<p>I went ahead to make a change to the information on the FAFSA application I sent online regarding that section. My question is: Will the school receive a notification that I made a correction in correspondence with the actions financial aid administrator or will I have to take further action into the matter?</p>

<p>I have already turned in the physical copies of my mothers tax transcripts, W-2's, 1040's, and all the other student requirements.</p>

<p>Thank you for a response!</p>

<p>I believe if the school already made the changes then you don’t have to. If you go back in the school will have to process it again.</p>

<p>You should not have made the correction yourself. Never make a correction to a verified FAFSA. If the school made any additional corrections, your later updates can cause issues. If the ONLY thing the school changed was your degree program, though, you are fine … making the update won’t be a problem.</p>
