For Students Planning to Enroll for the Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 Entry Term

  1. First, students should go to the Federal Student Aid website and get a FSA ID. One parent of a dependent student must get an ID as well at this site. IDs are used to electronically sign the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is mandatory for successful completion of the application. IDs are usually available to use within 48 hours after applying for them. Keep track of the ID, as you will be using it throughout your college career.
  2. After securing your ID(s), complete the 2025-26 FAFSA application on the Federal Student Aid website. The FAFSA should be completed before May 1 each year.
    • When completing the FAFSA, be sure to list Lycoming College. The Federal School code for Lycoming is 003293.
    • If you are transferring from another institution to Lycoming for the spring 2026 semester, make sure you add Lycoming College to your 2025-26 FAFSA.
