The Department of Education renewal application process is currently available for each year on October 1 of each year.
All renewal-eligible applicants can access Renewal FAFSA on the Web using their FSA ID to complete, sign, and submit a Renewal FAFSA on or after OCTOBER 1.
Each aid applicant who meets the eligibility requirements for a Renewal FAFSA by October 1 of each year, will be sent a Renewal Reminder e-mail to the email of record by the Department of Education. With the elimination of the paper Renewal FAFSA, it is particularly important that renewal-eligible students receive a Renewal Reminder, which informs them that they can use the Web to reapply for aid. The Department encourages students to update their address and e-mail address on their FAFSA to ensure the most current e-mail and mailing address information is present.
