How to transfer FAFSA between colleges?

I've received FAFSA aid at my current school, but I'm planning to transfer to a new college. Does anyone know the process for transferring FAFSA information between institutions?

To transfer your FAFSA aid from one college to another, you need to add the new school to your FAFSA application. Here's how you can do it:

1. Log in to your FAFSA account with your FSA ID on the official FAFSA website.

2. On the "My FAFSA" page, select "Make FAFSA Corrections."

3. Navigate to the "School Selection" section.

4. You can add your new school by entering the school’s Federal School Code (you can find this by searching the federal school code directory), or you can look it up by state and city.

5. After you have successfully added your new school, delete the old school if you are not considering it anymore.

6. After this, you must sign and submit your FAFSA form again to confirm the changes.

Make sure that you contact the financial aid office at your new school to inform them about the change and ensure they have your FAFSA information. Review and understand their financial aid requirements and deadlines, as they may differ from your previous school.

Remember, your financial aid package may vary based on the cost of attendance, policies, and budget of your new school. It could be a good idea to use the net price calculator on the new school's website to get an estimate of your expected financial aid package.

Keep in mind that this is for federal student aid only. If you were receiving any kind of institutional or state aid from your previous school, it won't follow you to your new institution. Make sure to apply for any aid offered by your new institution.

Transferring FAFSA doesn't automatically transfer all credits or fulfill all the financial aid requirements of the new school, so be sure to check with your new school's records office and financial aid office to avoid any discrepancies or complications. Good luck with your transfer process!
