    How to Submit the FAFSA

    Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at your earliest convenience at studentaid.gov.

    1. Lakeland University’s school code is 003854.
    2. You and a parent should create an FSA UserID if you do not yet have one. You will be prompted to do so at the fafsa.ed.gov site.
    3. FAFSA on the Web Worksheet is available as a pre-application worksheet to assist you and a parent in collecting information for questions asked on the online FAFSA. Click here for a link to the worksheet.
    4. You will be asked to include your federal income tax data (if applicable). Be sure you and your parent(s) sign your FAFSA. Tip: use this chart to determine which parent to include on your FAFSA.
    5. It is recommended that you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to directly import your tax data into your FAFSA.
    6. Verification: If your file is selected for verification by the Department of Education after submitting the FAFSA, you will be asked to provide additional documentation. The government requires that parents and students either use the IRS Data Retrieval process as noted above, provide signed copies of tax returns or request a Federal Tax Return Transcript (directly from the IRS, no charge) to fulfill the federal verification requirements. More detailed information will be provided if your FAFSA was selected for verification.
    7. Print a copy of your completed FAFSA for your records.
    8. After the Department of Education receives and processes your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR). This is a record of your FAFSA, please review it for accuracy. The SAR will show your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculated by the information that you provided on your FAFSA. The EFC is the amount determined by the Department of Education that your family is expected to contribute to your education for the upcoming year.

    If you have special or unusual circumstances which could affect your ability to contribute to college expenses, you may qualify for a re-evaluation of financial aid eligibility. Examples of these circumstances include, but are not limited to the following: death in the family, separation/divorce, involuntary loss of a job, the retirement of the wage earner and medical expenses paid and not covered by insurance. The request for consideration of special circumstances form is available on the financial aid forms tab.

    Note: If you do not want to complete the FAFSA, you may still be awarded a Lakeland University academic scholarship. Please contact the financial aid office.
