What Happens After You Submit the FAFSA?

After you submit the FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR)

When you receive your SAR, you must review it carefully to make sure it is correct. If the data is accurate and you do not need to make changes, you may be awarded financial aid on the basis of that information. It is your responsibility to request academic transcripts from all prior post-secondary institutions you have attended. These transcripts should be sent to the PJC Admissions Office. All prior college transcripts must be evaluated by the PJC admissions office before any federal or state financial aid can be awarded.

How will you receive your Student Aid Report?

• Email - if you submitted the FAFSA online.
• Mail - if you mailed the FAFSA.

The Central Processing Service will also send PJC an electronic copy of the SAR if you put 001513, the PJC school code, as one of your college choices. (Question 97 on the 2008-2009 FAFSA).

Note: A random number of students are selected each year to submit additional documents (such as tax returns filed with IRS) to the school through which they are receiving financial aid. You will be notified by PJC if your SAR has been selected for verification when the results are received.

In addition to submitting the FASFA to the federal processor, you will need to notify the PJC Financial Aid Office to let them know what semester you plan to begin attending our school.  Please go to Forms and Applications and select “Financial Aid File Activation Letter” under the Financial Aid heading.  Print it.  Please read and complete the form.  Mail or bring it to one of the campus locations listed on the form.  You may also click on the link at the bottom of this page, Questions? Email PJC, to request we activate your financial aid file.  Be sure to include your full name, your student I.D. number, if you have one, or provide the last four numbers of your social security number.
