Can I complete the new academic year’s FAFSA as married if I am not married yet, but I will be married by the time the semester starts?
NO! If you are not married, never complete the FAFSA as if you are married!
2 options:
1. Wait and complete the FAFSA after you are married as a married student with you and your spouse’s information.
2. If you are getting married before December 31st, you may be able to complete the FAFSA now and update your FAFSA marital status after you are married. Find out more about updating your FAFSA on our Marriage Status page.
