What happens after I complete my financial aid applications?

From your FAFSA information a Student Aid Report (SAR) and Institution’s Student Information Record (ISIR) are produced. Federal Student Aid Programs will transmit an electronic record to CFCC if you chose CFCC’s code number when you completed your FAFSA. You will also receive a printed copy of this record by mail (or e-mail if an e-mail address is provided on the application). You should review the information for accuracy and make corrections if necessary. It will also tell you if you have been selected for verification and if other information will be needed. Please read the report carefully and visit the Enrollment Services Center if you have any questions or don't understand the information. You can expect your SAR to arrive 1- 2 weeks from the time of your electronic application if you signed the application electronically using your PIN.

Additional requirements are established. If any documents are needed at the time your ISIR record is received, CFCC will send a missing information letter to the address listed on your CFCC student records. Please be sure we have your correct address. You may also view the missing information requirements on MyCFCC web portal.

Completed files are reviewed. If your file was selected for Verification, you cannot be awarded financial aid until your original application has been compared to your documents for accuracy. Corrections will be made if required and your application will be reprocessed. It is best to bring your Verification documents all in at the same time to expedite processing prior to the best results deadline. Late applications and forms will be reviewed as workload permits after the term has begun.

Eligibility is determined. If you are eligible for financial aid, a Financial Aid Award Letter will be sent to you outlining the awards you may receive. You may also view the award on your MyCFCC web portal. Be sure to read any special messages about the type of aid you are receiving and ask questions if you aren’t sure about any of the information. If you are not eligible for any federal or state grants, and you did not wish to apply for a loan, a letter will be sent to notify you.
