Step 6

www.fsaID.ed.gov studentaid.gov
Create an Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) and password and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Your FSA ID serves as your electronic signature and provides access to your personal records. You will need your FSA ID to access your federal student aid records online in order to view or make changes to your records. Dependent students will also be required to have a parent create their own FSA ID and password.
While completing the FAFSA®, be sure to add UACCM's code 005245.
Suggested FAFSA® Deadlines:
Students must reapply for the next academic year (fall to summer) prior to that fall semester.
Step 7
Check for and submit other required paperwork.
Watch for emails from the Financial Aid Office to the address listed on FAFSA requesting documentation or login to CampusConnect > Acct Info > Review Financial Aid approximately a week after you submit the FAFSA® to see what related paperwork must be submitted.
Examples of supporting documents that may be requested:
If supporting documents do not match the information submitted on the FAFSA®, it will delay completing your Pell grant award and any loans. Additional documentation may then be required.
Step 8
If the cost of classes is not completely covered, pay for remaining costs in full or set up a payment plan.
Pay in person by visiting the Student Accounts window in the University Center.

Begin and attend classes!
