Here’s a list of the items you’ll need for your Admissions file:

Financial Aid

To apply for financial aid, you must submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

1. Create your FSA ID and password at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
2. Next, log on to fafsa.gov and click “Start Here.”
   Be sure to use the correct Berkeley College school code for the state in which you are interested in attending.  
   
   School code for New Jersey: 007502
   School code for New York: 008556
   
   

   If your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is selected for verification by the U.S. Education Department, you will receive an introductory email at your preferred email address. The email will introduce the verification process and will come from the following address: StudentFinance@BerkeleyCollege.edu. Furthermore, you will receive an email from ProVerifier with a link to their portal and next steps. This will come from the following address: Berkeley@proverifier.proed.org. The ProVerifier portal can be accessed at https://berkeley.proed.org. You will use your Berkeley College credentials to sign in.

   Residents living outside of the New York/New Jersey area, please contact an Admissions Associate for the correct Berkeley College school code.

   ATTENTION: If the FAFSA determines that you are a Dependent student, your parent will need to create their own FSA ID and password.

   After submitting the FAFSA, a confirmation number will be displayed for your records.

3. All New York residents must click on the blue hyperlink on the confirmation page to provide additional information to be considered for state aid. Failure to do so will delay consideration.
