2012-2013 Financial Aid Application Checklist.

Follow these steps to be considered for grants, loans and work-study.

  1. Apply for admission. Admitted students who have filed a 2012-13 FAFSA will be notified of their financial aid award. 
  2. Get your PIN (Personal Identification Number) at http://www.pin.ed.gov or at http://www.fafsa.gov. Plan to file your FAFSA online and e-sign it with a Federal Student Aid PIN. Students and parents may request PINs now. Having a PIN will make filing the online FAFSA a totally paperless process (but don't forget to print the confirmation page).
      
  3. File the 2012-2013 FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.gov.

    Have your FAFSA information sent to Pacific by entering school code 001329.

    If you complete the FAFSA online and you (or your parents) don't have a PIN, be sure to print, sign, and mail the signature page. All online filers should print the confirmation page.

    If you file a paper FAFSA, keep a copy of your completed form and get a Certificate of Mailing at the Post Office when you mail it.

  4. Send copies of 2011 IRS Transcript or tax returns. As soon as possible, send all copies of W2 forms and a complete, signed copy of your 2011 IRS Transcript or 2011 U.S. income tax return or Online Filing documents--including copies of W2 forms and all other schedules and attachments--to the Financial Aid Office.

    If parent information is required on your FAFSA, also send a copy of your parents 2011 IRS Transcript or a complete, signed copy of your parents' 2011 tax return. Be sure to include copies of W2 forms and all other schedules and attachments your parents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.

    If a tax return will not be filed, complete and submit the Non-Filer's Statement section of Pacific's 2011 Parent Income or 2011 Student Income forms.

    Pacific will award financial aid on the basis of your FAFSA, but the funds cannot be paid into your student account until we have received and reviewed your 2011 income documentation.

      
  5. If needed, contact the Office of Financial Aid.
