Hardware and Software Requirements

The www.CFNC.org website is designed to work properly with the following browser versions:

We support the current and previous major releases of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome on a rolling basis. Each time a new version is released, we begin supporting that version and stop supporting the third most recent version. Select a browser from the list above to get the latest version.

Support for Java, JavaScript, and cookies must be enabled in either browser and can be "turned on" via the Options dialog box in Firefox or the Internet options dialog box in Internet Explorer. The dialog boxes can be accessed from the Tools menu on each browser. In Chrome, select Settings, Show advanced settings and Content settings button to enable these options.

To access any secure portion of the website, your browser will need to support 256-bit encryption.

The website is best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher.

PDF Documents

In order to view, print, or download the PDF versions of documents on CFNC.org, Adobe Acrobat or another PDF viewer is required. These files may not open properly with older versions of the plug in. Minimize risk when accessing Adobe Acrobat files by using the latest release of Acrobat Reader. Visit http://www.adobe.com/products/reader for more information.

Applying for and Using FSA ID

Effective May 10, 2015, the FSA ID, a username and password, replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN and must be used to log into certain US Department of Education websites. There is no charge to set up or use this electronic signature option.

Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically signed Federal Student Aid documents. If you do not already have an FSA ID create one by logging into www.fafsa.gov, the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at www.nslds.ed.gov, www.StudentLoans.gov or www.StudentAid.gov. Click here for a video tutorial on creating an FSA ID.
