2.2) Will I be notified if my FAFSA is accepted?
It typically takes 3-5 days to process an Application that was submitted online. A paper FAFSA is processed within 7-10 days from the date it was mailed. If you provide a valid e-mail address on your FAFSA, you will receive an e-mail notification that includes a link to your electronic Student Aid Report (SAR) at FAFSA on the Web. If you did not provide a valid e-mail address, the Social Security Number you included in your FAFSA did not match the one on file for you with the Social Security Administration, or you did not sign your FAFSA, then you will receive a paper SAR through postal mail. You can check FAFSA on the Web to see if your application was processed, even if you did not submit the application online.
