I need to make other changes on my FAFSA. What can I do? Visit https://studentaid.gov to sign in and make changes to your FAFSA. Be sure to input your FSA ID number before submitting changes. If you are selected for verification, financial aid counselor can make the changes for you. If you need to make changes to your TAP application, you can contact them at 1(888) 697-4372. I won't be able to get my Financial Aid on time to pay for my tuition. If I pay with my own money, will I be reimbursed? Yes, if you qualify for the aid and remain eligible. You will receive ONLY the amount for which you are eligible, once you attend classes and continue to meet financial aid progress standards. Please note that reimbursement for APTS currently takes at least a semester. Could my Financial Aid status be affected if I register for a different number of credits than I indicated on my application? Yes - the amount of your aid could be adjusted, so please make sure to check your status online for your updated aid amount. Adjustments are made every night. How can I set up my Financial Aid to cover a class I’m going to take at another SUNY institution? On the main MyWCC page, click on ‘SUNY Cross Registration App’ in the ‘Registration Information’ box on the right side of the screen. This link takes students through the process online. Please note that this is for Westchester Community College students who want to take a class at another SUNY institution while still attending WCC; it is not for students who are transferring to another SUNY institution. What if my personal situation has changed dramatically since I filed last year’s taxes, on which the current FAFSA is based? The Income Adjustment Form explains what documentation a student can submit in the case of one of the following situations: the parent/student/spouse has been unemployed at least 3 months, a parent/spouse has died, parents (or student and spouse) have divorced/separated, or parent/student/spouse has become disabled. For a copy of the form, please visit www.sunywcc.edu/finaid or email finaid@sunywcc.edu How do I speak with a Financial Aid Counselor?
