2025-2026 FAFSA LIMITED AVAILABILITY BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2024 (FULL AVAILABILITY BY DECEMBER 1) 

The U.S. Department of Education (Department) today announced that the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA® form) will be launched through a new process. Starting on October 1, the Department will release the 2025-26 FAFSA form for testing with a limited set of students and institutions. The Department will make the application available to all students on or before December 1. This process is informed by conversations and feedback from thousands of students, institutions, and other stakeholders.
 
The Department will invite volunteers to participate in the testing period, and over time will make the form available to an increasing number of participants, starting with hundreds and expanding to tens of thousands of applicants. This process will allow the Department to test and resolve issues before making the form available to all students and contributors. Using this approach, the Department will launch full functionality, including submission and back-end processing at the same time.  In the coming weeks, the Department will release more information about how this testing period will work.
 
Click on this link: FAFSA application to get to the FAFSA page.  Once you are there, you will have the option of completing the current year's FAFSA (2024-25) or next year's (2025-26) OR you can make a correction to an existing 2024-2025 FAFSA also.  You (and your parents, if applicable) can apply for the FSA ID now, so completing that step early can make your FAFSA filing go more smoothly as you (and your parents) will need to provide consent to allow tax information to be added to your FAFSA.
 
Also, please visit UCM's 2024-2025 FAFSA Updates page or the Department of Education's Updates page for the latest information.
