Both the student and his/her parent (if applicable) are required to use a FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to electronically sign the FAFSA. The FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing your financial aid information and federal student aid documents. To create an FSA ID, please visit the FSA ID Website .
You should complete the Dream Application if you are an undocumented/AB 540 student.
If you need assistance completing either application or creating a FSA ID, visit the computer lab next to the Admissions and Records Office in the Student Services Building.
The FAFSA for the 2025-2026 academic year will open on December 1, 2024.
