Hi all,
I submitted my FAFSA about 2 weeks ago, and no school has updated my status account to say they’ve received it. Should I be worried, or is it just that schools take some time to update this? I have received confirmation from Federal Student Aid that my FAFSA was filed and processed.
Thanks
You don’t need to be worried at all. All schools have different timelines as to when they will be importing 2015-2016 FAFSAs into their databases. I would imagine it should be happening pretty soon. If you are concerned, you can call your school and they can either confirm they have it or give you a time frame as to when you can expect an update on your account.
@kgos16: Thank you. The reason I’m worrying is because some schools had a February 1st deadline for filing the FAFSA - I know I filed it by that date, it’s just a bit scary not having confirmation they’ve received it.
