For ACH candidates: Complete your Financial Aid Application as soon as possible to qualify for our Reach University monthly payment plan

For every academic term that you are enrolled, candidates are required to file a Financial Aid Application annually. If you complete an application, but fail to finalize your financial aid eligibility by submitting, if requested, all required financial aid documents, you will pay the full tuition fee of $TBD for (2) semesters and $TBD for (3) semesters. Otherwise, once your financial aid is complete, you will be eligible for our monthly payment plan amount of $TBD.

If you are NOT eligible to file a Federal Student Aid FAFSA application, here are two specific options:

If you live in California and are unable to file a FAFSA, file a CADAA

If you do not live in California and are unable to file a FAFSA, file a CSS Profile:

Candidates that are eligible to file a FAFSA, please see the information below:

Reach University school code:  042637

NEW USERS: When you access FSA (Federal Student Aid), if this is your first time filing a FAFSA, you need to "Create an Account". If you have questions or issues, click "Help Center" (top, right) and do a search for the information/help you are needing.

RETURNING USERS: If you have filed a FAFSA before, even if it was years ago, DO NOT create a new account. Simply "Log-in" using your *FSA username and password that you created the first time you filed a FAFSA or contributed to a dependents FAFSA.

*If you do not remember your FSA log-in information, please see:

To retrieve your FSA username and password, please follow these steps:

  • Click this link: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/sign-in/retrieve-username and follow the instructions. Use a current email address that you can access and check your spam/junk folder if you do not see response emails from FSA in the inbox.
  • Once you retrieve your Username, go to FSA (Federal Student Aid) www.studentaid.gov Log-in, enter your Username, and click "Forgot Password"

  • You will receive information via email on how to reset your password.

  • Once you have reset your password, log into FSA again www.studentaid.gov using your username and new password to access your account.

  • Go to your Personal Info section first and verify/update your information if needed.

From there, start the application and continue through the questions, entering the answers that apply at that moment you are filling out your FAFSA.

It is important that you read everything carefully before entering anything on your FAFSA, double check all entries for spelling and accuracy, that way, you will not have to go back later to make corrections! If a question does not apply to you, leave it blank.

Once you have completed, signed and submitted your FAFSA, you will get a confirmation email from FSA letting you know it is being processed. We typically receive your processed FAFSA file from FSA within 3-4 business days. Once we receive and process your file on our end, the Office of Financial Aid will email you at that time.
