Electronically signed envelope

[Music] hi again if you're joining us today you've made it to the end of your fafsa in this video i'm going to walk you through how to sign and submit and this is your final steps as you get to the end of your fafsa you might have error messages that pop up before they allow you to go to the sign and submit page so i'll walk through what that would look like before we move on to the sign and submit one error message that might pop up for you is if your parent or guardian does not have a social security number and you put in zeros for their social they're gonna have you check for errors they want you to check to make sure that you meant to do that that you weren't just putting a placeholder while you looked up that information it's okay don't worry you just click check for errors and then it will let you move forward sometimes you have to check for errors two times so first they're going to ask you before you move on if you are a preparer a preparer is someone who has been hired to prepare your fafsa for you this is rare you're going to click no next is a summary of everything that you've put into your fafsa so you'll want to just glance over and make sure all of the responses that you put in there are accurate so you'll scroll all the way through and then if there's anything that you need to change definitely go back and change it now before you submit so for the student your signature is going to be through your fsa id so you're already logged in and they won't make you log in again click provide student signature you're going to agree to using your electronic signatures you're going to click next and then you're going to sign for the parent signature the easiest way that you can have a parent sign is having your parent also create a fsa id so it's the same way that you created an fsa idea as a student but it's an fsa id for the parent click and sign the same way that the student clicked and signed and then you're ready to submit so you'll click submit my fafsa now and then it tells you congratulations you've completed your fafsa make sure you check your email so that you can respond to any error messages if you need support reach out but if not there's several reasons why a parent may not be able to create or use an fsa id some of those reasons might be that a parent does not have a social security number that's okay um you just can't use the fsa id to sign sometimes a parent created an fsa id for an older sibling it might have been years ago and passwords and emails get lost in the shuffle and you're unable to log back into your fsa id the next best option is to provide parent signature agree sign and then you will print a signature page you can also submit without signatures if you want to take a little bit more time to try and figure out the signature and come back to sign but if you know that this is going to be your best option then you're going to go ahead and print a signature page it'll open a separate window and you're going to print this page here and then you're going to physically with the pen sign the parent signature portion and date so when you're ready to print you're going to print signature page you're going to mail it to the address that they give you on your form each year has a different address so make sure you look at the exact address the po box each year is a little bit different so you're going to print your signature page and you're going to print it if you need support with the printing and mailing of your signature page don't worry we have a process to support you what you'll do when you open your signature page to print it instead of sending it to a printer you're going to change the destination to save as pdf so you'll click here save as pdf and then you'll go down and click save and then you're going to just save that anywhere in your files where you can easily find it maybe you have a college folder that you keep important documents in and then you're going to open up an email a new email so go to your g dot highline schools email account you're gonna put the email address sativa.jones highlineschools.org that's who's going to be receiving the email on the subject line is fafsa signature page and then in the body of the email you're going to include your name your school and your mailing address so this is the place where you receive mail and then down here at the bottom you'll see the little paper clip you'll click that and you're going to find that signature page that you just saved and you're going to attach it congratulations you've completed your fafsa if you have any questions or get any error messages make sure you check your email so that you can respond to those and if you need support reach out
