IMPORTANT FAFSA INFORMATION:
You must re-apply for financial aid every year by
submitting the electronic Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov
. Please note: UCSD’s Title IV School
Code is 001317. When filing your electronic
FAFSA, keep in mind the following:
• If this is NOT your first time
completing an electronic FAFSA and you have forgotten
your PIN please click on the I Forgot/Don’t Know
My PIN option shown in the electronic FAFSA process.
• To help you complete your electronic FAFSA, a
worksheet is available in the financial aid office
or can be downloaded at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1213/pdf/fafsaws13c.pdf
• You do not need to complete your 2011 tax return
or wait for W-2s to file your electronic FAFSA.
Estimate the amounts and then make corrections to
your Student Aid Report (name of the report after
a FAFSA is processed) once your tax returns are
filed.
• Students applying to the M.Ed, M.A./ASL, M.A./CD,
or Ed.D programs are considered to be at a Graduate/Professional
grade level and seeking to complete a Graduate/Professional
degree. Make sure to choose the correct option when
completing the “Student Eligibility” section of
the electronic FAFSA.
• If you do not receive an email or notice from
the Department of Education processor two weeks
after you have filed your electronic FAFSA, follow
up with the processor regarding the receipt of your
electronic application. The processor can be reached
at 1-800-4FED AID (1-800-433-3243).
• If you are an incoming M.Ed, M.A./ASL,
M.A./CD, or EdD program applicant you must include
your social security number in your admissions application.
This is the only way the electronic FAFSA information
can be loaded into UCSD’s financial aid system.
