To add colleges after you have already submitted your FAFSA® form, you’ll need to visit the official government website.
1. Sign in to fafsa.gov using your FSA ID and navigate to your Status Center Dashboard.
2. Under the “My Activity” section, click on your FAFSA® submission.
3. On the Details page, click the “Add or Remove Schools” button.
3. Add or remove colleges from your list.
Remember that you can only include 20 colleges at a time, so you may need to remove a previously listed college to add the new one. Any colleges you remove/replace will have received your original FAFSA®, and they will continue to have access to that version of the form. However, they will not get any alerts/access to any additional/new changes to your form later on.
If you have fewer than 20 colleges listed, you also have the additional option of allowing colleges to add themselves to your FAFSA. Provide them with your "Data Release Number" (DRN), which is listed on your Submission Summary and listed on the confirmation page online. Then your college will be able to add themselves to your FAFSA® by using your SSN, DRN, and name.
You can also call the Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them to add the colleges for you. You will also be required to provide them with your DRN.
