When my efc is 0 what does it really mean

<p>Okay my efc is 0 I have registered for school and plan to start next week I still need to get other books but I don't have the money right now. My financial aid advisor at my college said she don't know exactly the amount of money I have been awarded yet. I don't have any pending awards towards my financial aid yet either but when I called to speak with someone from Financial aid center who has information about the process informed me that I would receive aid to cover my school tuition. I just want to make sure I have enough money for my tuition,books and other things I might need to attend school. How long does it take for me to get an award packet and how will I pay for my books if the packet doesn't come before school starts?</p>

<p>Were you selected for verification? Is that what you are waiting for? Or did you file late?</p>
