Complete the Annual Student Loan Acknowledgment (ASLA) each year that you accept a new federal student loan. ASLA helps you to understand your responsibilities to repay your loan, how much you have borrowed and how much more your can borrow. If you borrow a Federal Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized, Graduate/Professional student PLUS, or Parent PLUS loan it is optional to complete this acknowledgment. This process requires the borrower's FSA ID and password.
This is optional.
For assistance with applying for a new FSA ID, or on password retrieval, visit https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa/filling-out/fsaid.
