FAFSA Update: 午夜影院 Will Begin to Load 2024-25 FAFSA Data in Mid-to-Late May
May 13, 2024
As we continue to navigate through the FAFSA simplification changes we want to keep you informed about how this impacts our processes here at 午夜影院. In mid-March, the Department of Education began sending small batches of 2024-25 FAFSA data to schools. To accommodate the additional time needed to process the backlog of applications we'll receive, we expect to be able to begin notifying students that 午夜影院 has received their FAFSA in mid-to-late May.
We understand that waiting for confirmation can be nerve-wracking, please rest assured that we are diligently working to streamline the process and ensure that each application is reviewed promptly. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these changes together. Below is the most updated information and several resources available to students and their families.
Money Mondays Extended Through July 29
To help students navigate the FAFSA application process, 午夜影院's Financial Aid Office, along with the New Mexico Educational Assistance Fund, are hosting virtual "Money Monday" sessions from now until May 20. Students and their families can drop in any time between 3 - 6 p.m. for help with the FAFSA and accessing other financial aid resources.聽

How to Correct or Update Your FAFSA庐 Form
Most of the questions on the FAFSA form want to know your situation as of the day you sign the application. However, there are some instances in which you鈥檒l want to (or be required to) change the information you reported.
- What changes can I make to my FAFSA庐 form once it鈥檚 been processed?
- If you made a mistake
- If FAFSA庐 form Is missing a contributor鈥檚 consent and approval
- If you filed a FAFSA庐 form using an incorrect Social Security Number (SSN)
- If you want to add or delete a school
Update on Access to the 2024鈥�25 FAFSA庐 Form for Individuals Without a Social Security Number (SSN)
The U.S. Department of Education has made temporary adjustments so that individuals who don't have an SSN can access the 2024鈥�25 FAFSA form while they are completing the mandatory identity validation process. Once they create an account, they can immediately access and complete the FAFSA form by logging in with their StudentAid.gov account username and password. Students without an SSN (citizens of the Freely Associated States) must still meet eligibility requirements for federal student aid. These students must continue to verify their eligible noncitizen status through their school, if requested, before they receive any federal student aid.
The Department of Education Provides information about Reprocessed ISIR Codes and FAFSA Communication Efforts:
It has been noted by the Department of Education that student corrections are now 鈥渂roadly available鈥� and an email will be sent to all applicants and their contributors 鈥渋n the coming days鈥� with 2024-25 FAFSAs that are in an 鈥淎ction Required鈥� status, i.e., their FAFSA has been rejected or started but not submitted.
According to the department, the most common corrections include:
- missing signatures or consent and approval to access federal tax data;聽
- students who indicated they were only interested in unsubsidized loans; and
- applicants who have started, but not completed their FAFSA form submission.
The Department of Education said the corrections should only take 鈥渁 few minutes.鈥� and schools should receive a new ISIR transaction within 1-3 days of the applicant鈥檚 submission of a correction.
