Some students may be required to complete additional financial aid tasks in order to complete their financial aid application. Saddleback College Financial Aid Office requires that most tasks be completed electronically, via an online portal.  Students with additional tasks will receive additional directions via email, and can view their application status at any time by visiting https://saddleback.verifymyfafsa.com.

You can activate your portal once your financial aid application has been received by the financial aid office, which is usually about 10 days after you have submitted the FAFSA or CADAA.  

Please follow the following steps to activate your online form portal:
