<p>Help! I submitted corrections to the FAFSA for previously submitted schools that had a 2/1 deadline and then went back to change the schools and enter those that have a 2/15 deadline and FAFSA says I can’t get back in until it is done processing the corrections, which can take 3-5 days. In 3-5 days, I’ll miss the 2/15 deadline! Is there any way to get around this lockout so I can make the 2/15 deadline? I’m really worried. THANKS for your help.</p>
<p>I believe the date that counts is the original date of submission, which made your deadline. The date that is indicated on the site that says when you submitted your FAFSA is the date the schools will see. Corrections are normally later. Check and see, but you will probably be OK.</p>
<p>I found my answer. If you call the FAFSA help line 800-433-3243 with your Data Release Number and correctly answer their questions about your data, they can enter new schools even though you can’t do it yourself. They couldn’t give me a confirmation number, though, so I am waiting to see what email I get confirming it was done.</p>
