Financial Aid FAQs

How do I complete the FAFSA® when I don't have all the information I need?


Wait until you have all the information needed to complete your FAFSA®. Estimating or guessing can cause issues with processing and may significantly delay your financial aid.

Even if you do not meet the priority deadline, your FAFSA® can still be processed later in the semester.

For more guidance on completing your FAFSA®, visit FAFSA®: Your Guide to Federal Student Aid.
