Creating an FSA ID
1. Click on the button below to create a new FSA ID. You will need one ID and your parent/guardian will need another ID in order to complete your FAFSA application.
2. Answer the questions, and be sure to click on the “?” beside each one if you are having trouble. PLEASE WRITE DOWN YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE! IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CHANGE THIS INFORMATION LATER.
3. You will be asked to create challenge questions. PLEASE SELECT FACTUAL QUESTIONS SO THAT THE INFORMATION CAN BE LOCATED IF IT IS FORGOTTEN. For example:
4. You must also select a significant date in your life, other than your birthday. PLEASE WRITE THIS INFORMATION DOWN IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS!
