<p>I had submitted my application late last week. In status, it reflects as “FAFSA4caster Renewal on the Web 2008-2009”</p>
<p>My DD is going to college first time and tThis is the first time I am applying for my DD’s aid. While submitting I had selected as “School Year 2008-2009” and do not recall any “renewal” word in choices. Also I printed the application just before submission and in my print copy it just states “This is a copy of your 2008-2009 Application information” without any mention of “Renewal” any where in the application. I am wondering why is this showing as “Renewal” in the Status? </p>
<p>Is everyone has same status reflected or is there any thing wrong with my application?</p>
<p>AskMe02, D and I submitted hers yesterday and ours says the same, you just beat me to the question. The only thing I can think of is that we did the forecaster first and had the information transferred to the FAFSA, but still curious as to the terminology of “renewal”.</p>
<p>GA2012Mom, same is with me. I forgot to mention I had also entered my information in to the forecaster. But, in the forecaster I don’t recall they asked for school year.</p>
<p>I just spoke to FASFA.ed.gov 800 number - she was nice and explained me that the “Renewal” there does not mean application renewal. They are using the term more for “pre-filled application that is being reused”. Since I filled-in the forecaster for 2007-2008 (do not recall if there was a choice of school year and I selected 2007-2008), they information was made available to me as “renewal” for 2008-2009 and that’s why this is called “renewal”. </p>
<p>I guess I am Ok with it, though wonder how “renewal” word fits in here. But, that’s fine!</p>
