If you submitted your FAFSA using the Web and have a confirmation number, you can call Customer Service for assistance.

If you submitted your FAFSA using the Web and do not have a confirmation number, this means your FAFSA was not submitted. A saved copy of your application may be available for you to retrieve and submit. To retrieve your saved application:

If no saved application is found, you will have to complete and submit a new FAFSA. You must select the "Submit My FAFSA Now" button at the end of the application to receive a confirmation number.
