Tips from the pros:

• Create a folder for your financial aid documents. That way, all important financial aid-related information is kept in one place.
• You do not have to wait to be accepted to a school before filing the FAFSA, and you may list up to ten schools on the online application. List the school that you are most interested in attending first.
• Complete and file the FAFSA as soon as possible. In order to be considered for Pitt-Johnstown鈥檚 campus-based aid, which includes the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), you must complete the FAFSA by听April 1.
• Keep a copy of your completed FAFSA for future reference.
• When completing the FAFSA, you are applying for federal, state, and institutional aid at Pitt-Johnstown. This is the only application Pitt-Johnstown requires for financial aid consideration; however, upon receipt of the FAFSA, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) will send first-time filers a State Grant Status Notice to collect additional information for state grant consideration. Be sure to complete and return this information to PHEAA promptly.听
• After filing the FAFSA, you will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a copy of all the information you supplied on the FAFSA. Review your SAR for accuracy and make sure that Pitt-Johnstown鈥檚 school code is listed (008815). If any information is incorrect or incomplete, correct it by following the instructions provided with the SAR. If your SAR is correct, you do not need to do anything further, but you should keep it in your financial aid file. If you do not receive your SAR within 3-4 weeks of completing the FAFSA, you should call 1-800-433-3243 for assistance.听

Continuing Students should make sure you have no financial holds on your account so you are able to register for spring term classes.
