The checklists below will help you determine what you need with you when you attend a lab.

If already created, log-in to studentaid.gov and verify user and password are correct.
*Note: not completing the FSA ID 2-3 business days before trying to file your FAFSA application may prevent you from completing the FAFSA application.
