What happens after the student submits the FAFSA and PROFILE forms? |
Several weeks after a student submits the FAFSA and PROFILE Application, the information from the forms will be transmitted electronically to the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. The Office will use this information to make a financial aid award.
|
|
How does the student know that the electronic information has arrived successfully at the University? |
|
The student will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) confirming that the University has received a valid record as a result of completing the FAFSA. If the student's SAR shows an invalid record, there will be instructions for correcting the record or providing the University with follow-up information.
The College Scholarship Service will send an Acknowledgement Form to the student indicating that the PROFILE information has been transmitted to the school.

What happens after the University receives the student’s applications? |
|
The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid will send the student a Notice of Incomplete Application if additional information is required to resolve discrepant or incomplete information, or to comply with federal requirements for data verification. Students who do not yet have an ONYEN are notified via a letter that will contain the student's newly assigned ONYEN and password. Students who already have an ONYEN are notified via emails. If a Notice of Incomplete Application is received, the student must then visit Student Central to determine what additional information is required before a financial aid award decision can be made for the upcoming award year. (Use these directions to find financial aid information via Student Central.)
If no additional information is required to complete the student's award, incoming freshmen who applied by the March 1 priority deadline will hear in June. Students may check their status on-line via Student Central.

What if a family's circumstances change after the applications have been mailed, or after the award notification has been received? |
After the student submits a FAFSA form and/or PROFILE form, if there are changes in financial circumstances or in any of the factors relevant to the application for aid, the student should notify the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid in writing.
