As part of strengthening Coordinated Care efforts, this spring we will begin tagging student records in Navigate with FAFSA statuses. These tags will identify students who filed a FAFSA for 2025–26, are receiving aid this year, but have not yet filed for 2026–27. Advisors will use this information to engage with these students to take action on their FAFSA.
In this training, we’ll review how to locate the tags, ask targeted questions to assess a student’s status, and request assistance or make referrals as needed.
