New students receive financial aid offers in March while continuing students receive offers for the upcoming year in April.
There are a few things that can hinder your award. If you are concerned that Appalachian has not received your FAFSA, log into AppalNet and go to the Financial Aid tab. Click on "My Eligibility" and "Student Requirements". Use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate aid year. If the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" is satisfied, then we have received your FAFSA!
- If the requirement is not listed or if it is not satisfied, we have not received your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information.
- Did you list Appalachian as a school that could receive your FAFSA? Log back into your FAFSA at FAFSA.ED.GOV or call the Federal Student Aid Center at 1-800-433-3243 to have your information sent to Appalachian State University by adding school code 002906.

- If your name, Social Security number or birthdate on the FAFSA don't match the same information on your student record at Appalachian then your FAFSA can't be processed. Check these items on both your FAFSA and your student record (you can use MyMountaineer or contact the Registrar), and fix anything that is not correct. The Financial Aid office cannot make changes to your student record - only Admissions or the Registrar can do that for you.
