It includes overviews of individual pages and user scenarios that feature different user roles.  \nUSER ROLES  \nAnyone who fills out a FAFSA form is a contributor. A contributor is someone who  \n• signs a student’s FAFSA form and  \n• consents to and gives approval for having their federal tax information transferred from the IRS directly into the student’s form.  \nThis guide includes contributors in the roles of dependent student, independent student, parent *, and student spouse.  \nUSER SCENARIOS  \nA user scenario shows the pages and fields a student or contributor fills out to complete a FAFSA form or a specific task related to a FAFSA form.  \nCommon scenarios are represented in their entirety.  \nLess common scenarios are represented only by the pages that show how they diverge from more common scenarios.  \nIf a user’s answers affect the pages and fields the user would face next, they are specified. If the answers would not affect the scenario, they are not.  \n*Students can use the Who's My FAFSA Parent? Wizard to help them identify who must contribute to their FAFSA form. 4  \nContents: Starting a FAFSA ® Form  \nSlides are grouped into stages of the FAFSA ® form completion process.
