Follow up on your FAFSA

Your application will be processed by the Department of Education and you will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) by e-mail or by mail. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) summarizes all the information you provided on your FAFSA. Your SAR will usually contain your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the number used in determining your eligibility for federal student aid. Your EFC will appear in the upper right-hand portion of a paper SAR or an electronic SAR. You might not get an EFC if the Department of Education needs more information from you to process your data. You should review your SAR for any necessary corrections or updates. If you do not hear from the Department of Education within three weeks, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov ad select "Check the status of a Submitted FAFSA;" or you may call 1-800-4-FED-AID.

Making Corrections to your SAR

If you need to make corrections to your SAR:

• You can make them online using your PIN, by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov and selecting "Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA."
• Your school might be able to make them for you electronically
• Or, if you received a paper SAR, make any necessary corrections on that SAR and mail it to the address on the form for processing.
