<p>I’m transferring for the Spring 2012 semester - which CSS profile do I need to make: 2011-2012 or 2012-2013?</p>
<p>Your financial aid application forms are done using the form that is the SAME as the school year for which you are applying for aid.</p>
<p>So…if it’s part of the 2011-2012 school year…you do the 2011-2012 FAFSA/Profile</p>
<p>If it’s for the 2012-2013 school year…you use the 2012-2013 forms. The 2012-2013 FAFSA won’t be available for filing until January 1, 2012.</p>
<p>Do not cut ties with your current school until AFTER you see what your FA package is at your new school.</p>
<p>Transfers often get lousy FA packages…and mid-year transfers can get even less.</p>
