<p>does anybody know what is meant by a “history correction”? my financial aid counselor looked over my paper copy of my SAR that i requested from the federal student aid folks and said that this was a “history correction”.</p>

<p>does anybody know what this means? it could not be a regular correction that an FAA or a student would do, so what does it mean???</p>

<p>any FAA’s that belong to this board are encouraged to reply. of course this also goes for the average joes out there as well…</p>

<p>( i tried asking the counselor but she did not know—she must be new i guess…)</p>

<p>p.s. it showed up online as an electronic correction on fafsa on the web so go figure.</p>

<p>Typically, history corrections are ones done by the folks at FAFSA due to an “error” or additional information. Such errors or additional information can include: changes to regulations (which has occurred), updated information from Homeland Security, NSLDS, Selective Service, etc.</p>
