FAFSA simplification: What to expect

The 2024–25 FAFSA® has been delayed and will not be available until sometime in December 2023.

The FAFSA Simplification Act changes not only the questions presented to students and families, but also how their tax information is presented, who can be listed on the application, how the information will be sent to institutions, what subsequent questions institutions can ask, among other changes.

Due to the impact on institutions and the complexity of these changes, Department of Education has stated they will make the application available “sometime in December 2023.”

WSU’s FAFSA/WASFA priority dates for 2024–25 have also been adjusted:

  • Feb. 15 — Deadline for current Cougs
  • March 31 — Deadline for new Cougs
