  3. Students who have completed the FAFSA for the Award Year applicable to their admissions start date, but did not list the UGA Federal School Code as one of the schools to receive their FAFSA data need to Login to the FAFSA on the Web and add the UGA Federal School Code 001598.
  4. Students transferring to UGA in a spring or summer term and their previous institution awarded them federal student aid for the spring and/or summer need to contact their previous school’s financial aid office and request they cancel your spring and/or summer award.
