When logging into certain Department of Education (ED) websites you may have previously used a PIN number to access personal information. Starting May 2015, a security update was made to require students, parents and borrowers to use a StudentAid.gov ID to access financial aid information. A StudentAid.gov ID is a username and password that identifies you as someone who has the right to access personal information on ED websites. The StudentAid.gov ID will replace the prior PIN system of identification.

Learn more about the StudentAid.gov ID on the Department of Education’s website or create your StudentAid.gov now.
