Complete Required Forms Electronically
All forms may be completed electronically by logging into Goldlink and selecting each requirement. You may also upload required documents.
Many forms require a parent signature, or the parent may wish to upload a document. In this case, the parent will be sent an email after you complete your part of the form. Parents should select the link in the email message and establish their own account. Once complete, they will be able to electronically sign forms and upload documents.
If you are required to submit a tax return, you may be able to use the IRS data retrieval tool to link your tax information from the IRS directly into your FAFSA. Simply log into your FAFSA (studentaid.gov) and select “Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA.”
