COLLEGE APPLICATION WEB SITES
Students applying to community colleges can stop by the Counseling Office for applications as many community colleges have their own application and do not charge a fee to apply (this includes JCC, MVCC, Herkimer Community College and North Country Community College). Students applying to SUNY Colleges only should use the SUNY Application at www.suny.edu. This site allows students to apply to multiple campuses at one time.
Students applying to private colleges/SUNY campuses can access the Common Application at www.commonapp.org . Students can verify if their college choices accept the Common Application and apply to multiple campuses at one time. Students needing assistance should stop by the Counseling Office.

Financial Aid Websites:
Create a FSA ID: https://fsaid.ed.gov
The Federal Student Aid PIN was replaced with the FSA ID on May 10, 2015. The new FSA ID consists of a user-created username and password to electronically access personal information on Federal Student Aid Web sites, including FAFSA on the Web. You can use your FSA ID immediately to sign your FAFSA, but must wait for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to verify your information before you can use the FSA ID to create a renewal FAFSA, make corrections to your FAFSA, or view your SAR.
