Student Aid Report (SAR)
About 1-2 weeks after applying on-line, or 3 - 5 weeks after mailing your application, you will receive an acknowledgement with the results of your application in the mail, called a 'Student Aid Report'. If your Student Aid Report indicates that you appear to qualify for a grant, the financial aid office will mail you a 'Notice of Missing Documentation' letter shortly after you receive your Student Aid Report. This letter explains what you must do in order to complete your file to be eligible for financial aid.
You will receive a confirmation email about your Student Aid Report. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please check your 'Junk Mail' or 'Bulk Mail' mailboxes.
Making corrections on your STUDENT AID REPORT (SAR)
Your results (the colored Student Aid Report or SAR) will be mailed to your home address. The SAR is your notification that the FAFSA has been processed. When the SAR is received, it must be checked for accuracy, and corrected if any information was incorrect. Your financial aid must be based on correct information. The financial aid office is able to transmit your corrections electronically so that within 72 hours corrected results are processed and received by the college. To make corrections, you (and a parent if you are changing any of their information) must sign the Student Aid Report, giving us permission to make changes for you, and submit the SAR to the financial aid office.
You can make corrections to your SAR online at the Department of Education's website www.fafsa.ed.gov.
