<p>We met IDOC's deadline for getting the material to their address by March 5, 2014 (got there Monday March 3), but the supplements are not uploaded to my S's IDOC profile yet. Admission office says deadline is not a hard deadline for this extra IDOC paperwork but I am worrying that a technicality will prevent my S from being eligible for fin aid. He has applied RD and thus an admission decision has not yet been announced. </p>

<p>Any insights about when the financial aid office begins to review student financial aid applications?</p>

<p>My information is that IDOC is not used for financial aid directly. That is what the CSS Profile is for. The IDOC information is just to make sure the CSS Profile data isn’t really wrong. So I believe they can start computing your financial aid without it,</p>
