I completed my financial aid requirements (FAFSA, CSS…) at the beginning of this week, but was just wondering how I’m notified that schools received my information. On only some of the portals is there a section to check aid status. Should I be getting emails from schools?
Thanks!!
Also, how soon should I be notified? A few days? Weeks?
Some schools will let you know either via their portal or via email.
But do check all of your emails…and check your spam folder.
When are your deadlines? If you do get concerned…you can call financial aid. But really…unless there is an error, it should go through.
The error could be on your submission side if there is an error. If that is the case, you will get an email from FAFSA or the College Board.
Did you receive a confirmation from FAFSA and Profile that these were submitted?
Yes, I got confirmation that Fafsa and the profile were submitted. My deadlines are pretty scattered, being throughout January and February, but I had two that were earlier and I havent heard back…
UF was December 15th (only fafsa required and I did it on time, got notified by Fafsa that it was processed but nothing from school)
Syracuse was yesterday, and again, did everything on time and didn’t get any notification other than from the agencies themselves that they were processed.
Should I call those two schools?
