The FAFSA is the only application required to determine eligibility for federal, state and institutional (CCS) need-based financial aid. Students should complete the FAFSA each year they may need to receive aid. Even if you’re uncertain of your plans, it is still a good idea to get your FAFSA filed so you are prepared either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAFSA for the upcoming school year is available beginning October 1st of the previous year. For example, the FAFSA for the 2017-2018 academic year was available beginning October 1, 2016. It is recommended you file your FAFSA no later than March 1st to ensure your maximum eligibility for aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CCS\u2019 Title IV code is 006771.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
