Application Status

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

If you listed Florida Community College’s school code (001484) on your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the College will receive your information electronically from the U.S. Department of Education. The College will notify you we have received your Student Aid Report (SAR). You may need additional documentation/forms to continue processing your application. This documentation must be submitted to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office. If you do not receive notification within four weeks of receiving your SAR, please contact your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.

Selected for Verification

Federal law requires 30 percent of student files be selected for verification and Florida Community College will select SARS with conflicting information. When a file is selected for verification, a student and/or parent must complete a verification worksheet and submit copies of their tax return and other required documents. You must submit all documents in order to complete your file and continue processing of your application. The College is required to review accuracy of all household/income information.

Incomplete Application Status

The College will notify you we have received your Student Aid Report (SAR) and need additional documentation/forms required to complete your file. This documentation/forms must be submitted to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.

Award Summary Status

Award Letter/Award Summary

Once your file has been completed and reviewed, Florida Community College will award you with the best available financial aid package. You will receive an official College award letter explaining the financial aid package you are eligible to receive. If you wish to accept the package, you do not need to respond. However, if you wish to refuse or decrease a portion of your aid package, you must initial and return the letter to your campus enrollment services/financial aid office.

Loan Status

Complete the current year Florida Community College Student Aid Loan Application and list your lender of choice. If you have no preference, a lender will be assigned to you from our preferred lender list. First time borrowers must also complete an online entrance loan counseling session and an in-person loan workshop. Once you are officially enrolled in classes, Florida Community College will transmit your loan request to the guarantee agency for approval. After approval, you will be notified to go online and complete the e-signature process via FCCJ Connections or Nelnet. You can also visit your campus enrollment services/financial aid office if you do not have online access. You must complete the preprinted MPN, and return it to the lender address indicated on the form. The lender will transmit funds electronically to the College’s banking institution. (Some lenders do not participate in transmitting funds electronically; choosing one of these institutions could delay receipt of your loan funds. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to choose a lender from the preferred lender list.) The College will verify your eligibility, deduct outstanding educational fees and disburse remaining balance. You must be enrolled in at least six credits (or an equivalent of half-time hours) to receive a student loan.
