Application Procedures

• The FAFSA can be filed electronically at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. A link is provided on the Web site and on myUCF.
• Messages from the federal processor should be reviewed thoroughly;
• Review all correspondence, follow instructions on the Student Aid Report, and follow through promptly. Delays can be costly as well as frustrating;
• Federal Regulations require that some students be selected for verification. If selected, students will be required to provide documents supporting the information submitted on the FAFSA. Sometimes subsequent requests for data may be necessary after initial submissions are reviewed. Prompt response to requests for additional documentation will expedite completion of this process;
• Offered federal funds and other needbased financial aid are not considered firm until verification is complete and all necessary corrections have been made.
