Getting Started

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a standard document used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid. If you apply for financial aid you must complete the FAFSA form. A South University financial aid officer will be glad to help you with any questions about how to complete the FAFSA form.

Before you fill out the FAFSA form, you must request a personal identification number (PIN) from the U.S. Department of Education. You will use your PIN to electronically apply for federal student aid and to access your U.S. Department of Education records online.

You can request a Department of Education PIN online at http://www.pin.ed.gov/.

You can complete the FAFSA form online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The U.S. Department of Education assigns a number called a Federal School Code to each school that is qualified to receive and disburse federal financial aid. The South University Federal School Code number is 013039.
