Check the status of submitted documents
Please visit Self-Service to see the status of submitted documents.
All documents are reviewed within 7 to 10 business days. If the document shows “Received”, your
document is pending review by your Financial Aid Counselor. If the document shows “Incomplete”
or “Additional Information”, note the reasoning in bold and resubmit with corrections.
Submit requested documents to the Financial Aid Office
When you check to see that your FAFSA was received, you may also notice that some other documents
are in a “Missing” or “Incomplete” status. Please submit all required documents using the secure
link found on the Forms and Worksheets page.
If you receive any requests via email or through the mail from the New Jersey Higher Education
Student Assistance Authority (HESAA), please comply with those requests. You must submit all
documents that they request to be eligible for any state aid including Tuition Aid Grant (TAG),
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG), and NJ STARS.
Review your financial aid award
The Financial Aid Office does not make tentative awards. You will not be awarded any federal or
state financial aid (including grants and loans) until all required documents have been
reviewed.
Once your documents have been reviewed, you will see your financial aid award in Self-Service. You can view your financial aid award amounts
for the entire academic year or for a single term.
If your documents have been reviewed and you do not see a financial aid award, it is because you
are not eligible for grants. You may still be eligible for student loans and scholarships.
Information about how student loans work and how to request one can be found on our Loans page. Information about how scholarships work and how to
apply for one can be found on our Scholarships page.
Please note any submitted documents can take 7-9 business days for your financial aid to be processed during our Peak Months (August to September and January). During our Non- Peak Months any submitted documents can take 5-7 business days for your financial aid to be processed.
