Your FAFSA® or BYU-Idaho demographic information may not match

If the date of birth or Social Security number (SSN) on your FAFSA® does not exactly match your BYU-Idaho student record, your financial aid cannot be processed. This is usually caused by a typo on either the FAFSA® or your BYU-Idaho profile.

Check both your FAFSA® and BYU-Idaho profile. If one is incorrect, submit a correction so the information matches exactly.

To correct your birthdate on my BYU-Idaho profile:

• Log in to myBYUI
• Go to your Profile tab
• Select Edit Personal Information
• Select Change next to your birthdate
• Upload one of the following documents:
  
  • Birth certificate
  • Driver’s license
  • Passport

To correct your Social Security Number (SSN) on my BYU-Idaho profile:

• Log in to myBYUI
• Go to your Profile tab
• Select Edit Personal Information
• Select Change next to your Social Security number
• Upload your Social Security card
