What is an FSA ID?
An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).Who needs an FSA ID?

To create your FSA ID, go to StudentAid.Gov.When should I create an FSA ID?
If you have a Social Security Number (SSN), you can create it now!
It can take up to 5 business days for the FSA ID to become active, so we recommend creating it at least a week before you start your FAFSA.
Those without SSN’s will likely have to wait until December 2023 before the system is able to create an FSA ID.
What if I can't remember my FSA ID or am not sure if I have one?
To retrieve a forgotten FSA ID or password, please go to StudentAid.Gov and click either the “Forgot my Username” or “Forgot my Password” links.CWU News
