financial aid question

<p>how do you find out if UNC received the fafsa and css profile? I sent it in around 2 weeks ago.</p>

<p>I think they let you know around march 1st</p>

<p>I'm in the same boat.</p>

<p>I wanted to call and make sure they had received it but the phone line is only open until 4pm Mon- Fri and unless I called right when I walked out of school that just won't be possible.</p>

<p>If you go to Applicant Central (applicantcentral.unc.edu), there is a link to check your Financial Aid status. </p>

<p>On mine, it says they have received my CSS Profile, but not my FAFSA. I sent both around the same time, so they may take awhile to update.</p>

<p>APPLICATION FORMS
*** Your FAFSA information has not been received.
*** Your CSS Profile information was received 02/12/2008.</p>

<p>Thats what it says on mine too, and I sent FAFSA in around the same time as well. I'm guessing they have it but are just in the transition of filing it since on my FAFSA.ed.gov status it says it has been processed.</p>

<p>i submitted my fafsa in early feb. they said they received it feb 25...also i submitted my css on dec.27 and they said they received it in late january. It should be fine. It just takes them forever to upload.</p>

<p>I emailed them soon after my previous post, and my status has been changed to being received, though I never received an email back. So, I don't think there is anything to worry about. I sent both of mine around 02/10/2008 or 02/11/2008. You guys should be fine.</p>

<p>Oh they just processed my fafsa today, nice timing!</p>

<p>does unc require federal tax returns as well as the fafsa and css?</p>

<p>I called them and asked about the tax return yesterday. They said they will contact people after March 1 if they need anything else, including the return. I had to send a revised Profile (had to print out original, make changes in ink and send it snail mail) and they said they don't even look at the changes until after March 1.</p>

<p>Also, I had been advised by FA office that they do a complete download of CSS and FAFSA on March 1. So if applicantcentral.unc.edu shows that there is ifno missing, it should be done by 3/1. In the meantime, it seems that they do intermittent downloads as my S' documents are in now. We had our CSS and FAFSA processed on 1/26 and only in the last day or two have they received the info.</p>
