To add colleges after you have already submitted your FAFSA® form, you’ll need to visit the official government website.

1. Sign in to studentaid.gov using your FSA ID. You'll land on your Dashboard.

2. Select your FAFSA® form.

3. Under the "Selected Colleges" section, click "Add or Remove Schools".

4. Click "Search and select schools".

Remember that you can include 20 colleges at a time on the online FAFSA® form but only 10 colleges will appear on your PDF FAFSA® form. You will need to remove one of the 10 previously listed colleges that appear on your PDF FAFSA® form to add a 21st college. 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.

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 at the top of your Submission Summary. Then your college will be able to add themselves to your FAFSA® by using your SSN, DRN, and name.
