This is changing in
one year.
Click here to log in the 1st time
Click here to set PIN
Try this First
Last 5 of your SSN
This should result in an email being sent to you with your temporary PIN, but…
If after 5 minutes, you
haven’t received an
email yet or it was sent
to an email.sc.edu
address, use option 3.
Some students have
had issues with the
previous page, but
after faxing in the form,
most students had a
response from the
office in about an hour..
Do this Next
This is your Social
Security Number
This is the same form
used by returning USC
students who have
forgotten their PIN.
Return to this page and log in
Click here to get to FAFSA info
Glance at this page when you sign in. It usually lists important updates that you might need.
This is one of the
most important
pages on VIP. We
won’t go into most of
the functions today,
but you should be
able to figure out
what most of them
do.
Click here to check
your FAFSA status
If your application status is complete, congratulations,
you can stop here. Otherwise, continue on…
If your status is incomplete, click on the hyperlink and it will take
you to a second page that will help you complete your application.
Most likely you did nothing wrong to receive this status; the Dept.
of Ed. randomly selects over 33% of records to verify accuracy.
Your page will look similar to
this, but will be specific to
you. Follow the steps in the
green column and within 2
workdays of turning
everything in to the Office of
Student Financial Aid and
Scholarship (on the Columbia
Campus), your application
status should change to
“Complete”.
Sometimes forms will have to
be mailed as they contain
information specific to you.
This may take a little longer,
but not much.
