The FAFSA for the upcoming aid year becomes available in October and it is best to get it submitted early (by February 1) to ensure you meet priority dates and can get the best financial aid package possible.MCC's School Code is 002484.
- Submit the FAFSA. It will help to have the following information/items:
- An FSA ID (user ID and password). You can apply for or request your FSA ID on the FAFSA website.
- Your driver's license number (if you have one)
- Your social security number (or permanent residence card if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- Current bank statements if you have checking or savings accounts

- 2020 tax information for your 2022-2023 FAFSA
(fall 2022, spring 2023 and summer 2023) - Use the IRS data retrieval tool (if it is an option with your circumstances) to automatically transfer your tax information.
- If you have a job but did not file taxes, your W-2 forms (these are mailed by your employer by January 31 each year)
- If you are 23 years old or younger you will likely be considered dependent (the application will guide you based on how you answer the questions) and will need your parents' income information.
