<p>I resubmitted my FASFA with 1 correction changing my status to “Off-Campus” housing. Will submitting this correction effect the amount that I may be eligible for? I submitted the FASFA months ago and I have a fear of being at the back of the line again for making this crucial change in my form.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>edit-Im an independent if that matters related to my question in any way.</p>
<p>You should call the college. While it may (or may not) be cause for an adjustment in your award, it should not put you “at the back of the line.”</p>
<p>Depends on the school, but most schools use the initial filing date to determine whether you’ve met the priority deadline. A few people have posted that the schools dropped that due to a subsequent post-deadline but pre-award update, but I think those were private schools. You have received your FA awards already, right? If so, they shouldn’t be affected by a housing change.</p>
<p>For Fall, I don’t even have the Accept/Decline financial awards show up until July 16 (according to my oh-so-friendly financial office). I always file super early for obvious reasons.</p>
