I submitted my FAFSA in the beginning of October, but it’s not showing up in of my schools’ financial aid portals. (“No financial aid documents received” or something of that nature). All of my scores and whatnot have been successfully sent. Is there something I’m supposed to do after the FAFSA says “processed successfully” in order to send them to my colleges?
If younput the accurate college numbers on the forms…just be patient. Colleges upload these in batches.
OP, you could contact your school’s FA office
Yes… it takes time. My daughter submitted her FAFSA on Day 1, and they finally started showing up at the various schools Oct 31st thru Nov 1st.
Many, many schools are not yet ready to import the FAFSA into their computer systems yet. The change to the earlier filing date does not necessarily mean schools will be ready to import or review the FAFSA info yet in their systems. If you filed the FAFSA, listed the correct school code, and received a SAR with a valid EFC, you are fine.
