We had this issue several years ago. Incredibly frustrating as it was S1’s application year. The change that school made was wrong, and it was sent to all the other schools. I changed it back; they changed it back. It was truly a circle from hell. I still am shocked a school can go in an unilaterally change your information and FAFSA sends it to all the schools, without any verification or notice to you until after the fact.

A kind person at FAFSA finally told me which of the 10 schools was making the edit and told me if S wasn’t going to attend that school, to delete them from the list, make the correction back to the original AGAIN, and send it to the other 9 schools.

Salt in the wound…it was my alma mater. Grrrr.
