4

No encouragement of illegal activity

Do not encourage or imply illegal activity. This will be subject to an immediate ban.

5

No advertising

Do not advertise any “free” or paid programs claiming to help students with the FAFSA. Additionally, do not advertise products and services unrelated to FAFSA.

Generally, no advertising will be allowed no matter what it is, but there may be some exceptions if you ask for permission.

You must make a request to the mod team beforehand** if you wish to advertise, solicit, run AMAs, etc.

If there’s no permission given and you break this rule, you will be banned and the post will be removed.

6

Do not provide false information

Do not provide false information about FAFSA or financial aid in general.

If you are credentialed, you should contact the mod team. We will assign you a flair after verification.

Violation reason: Potentially false information
7

No strictly political posts

All news articles and similar items posted under the "News & Announcements" flair must be directly related to the FAFSA or its programs (e.g., Pell Grant, SEOG, Federal Loans, etc.).

No unrelated or loosely related political posts are allowed in r/FAFSA. An example of a headline that would be removed is "House Democrats denied entry to the Department of Education" - it is unrelated to FAFSA or its programs.

Violation reason: Unrelated political post
