Step 3 - After You Apply for Financial Aid

Review your Student Aid Report (SAR)

Your SAR is a report that summarizes the information you submit on your FAFSA. It contains the expected family contribution (EFC) that you or your family is considered capable of contributing to educational expenses. Your SAR includes important information about the status of your application (such as missing information and/or missing signatures) that must be completed.

  • You should receive your SAR three to five days after filing your FAFSA electronically.
  • If you find any mistakes or information that needs to be updated, follow the instructions on your SAR to make corrections. Corrections can be made at www.fafsa.gov

  • New Students:  Accepted students will be notified by mail beginning in mid March.
  • Current Students:  E-mail notifications directing students to WebXpress will begin in June (after Spring grades are posted).
  • You may also view financial aid awards online in WebExpress.
  • Be sure to keep your financial aid award letter (and any revised award letters) for your own records. You should also keep a copy of all documents that you submit to the Financial Aid Office.
  • Advise the Financial Aid Office immediately if you receive a financial aid award from any other source. A change in your resources may affect your financial aid package.

If you or your family have unusual circumstances that might affect your need for student aid, submit the Special Conditions form to the Financial Aid Office for consideration. Be sure to include your name and SU ID or social security number in your request. Download Form.
