FSA ID

Video: How to Create an FSA ID

In completing the FAFSA, you (and your parents, if required) will sign the application using an FSA ID. If you don’t have a FSA ID, you can create one when logging in to the Federal Student Aid website. You will create a username and password. You will enter your email address, name, date of birth, Social Security number, contact information, and challenge questions and answers.

Complete your application at studentaid.gov:

  1. Enter all the necessary information. If you filed taxes, your tax information will automatically import from the IRS.
  2. If you need help, the side bar to the right will guide you through each question.
  3. At the point where you have to list the schools that you want to receive your information, you’ll want to list the school code for Chattahoochee Technical School. That code is 005620. This will ensure that your application is sent to us electronically.
  4. Submit your application.

  1. Log into your me@ChattTech Student Portal to check your financial aid status.
  2. If you have been selected for Verification, you will need to provide additional documents either to the financial aid office or through Verification Gateway (VG) from Inceptia, an online portal to guide students and parents through verification before financial aid can be awarded.
  3. If your FAFSA application is selected for verification by the U.S Department of Education, you will receive an email from VGCS@inceptia.org, or a postcard from Inceptia, containing Chattahoochee Technical College’s unique website link to start the verification process.

We encourage you to begin the verification process within 7 days of receiving notification from Verification Gateway to ensure you receive your financial aid in time for payments. Failure to complete the verification process could result in the delay or denial of your financial aid.
