How do I know my application was processed by the federal processor?
About four to six weeks after sending in the FAFSA, you should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR); this is verification that you filed the FAFSA and that it has been processed. Questions about FAFSA processing can be directed to the Federal Student Aid Information Center (1-800-4-FED-AID). You can also determine the status of your FAFSA application through the Department of Education's FAFSA on the Web web site.

How can I verify that MSU-Northern will receive the results?
Check to make sure MSU-Northern is one of the schools listed in Step Six of your SAR.

My SAR isn't accurate. Do I need to correct it?
Since corrections to your financial aid application data may affect your eligibility, you should contact the Financial Aid Office to find out whether or not the corrections are necessary and whether or not the Financial Aid Office can make those corrections electronically. You may also be able to correct your information through the Department of Education's FAFSA on the Web web site.

MSU-Northern isn't listed on my SAR, but I called the processors and they said you could request my record if I gave you the Data Release Number (DRN)?
MSUN can do this if you provide the Financial Aid Office with certain information from your Student Aid Report including the DRN. You can also call the federal processor at 1-319-337-5665 and have MSU-Northern added by phone. You will need to provide the federal processor with some information from your Student Aid Report and the Title IV School Code Number for MSUN which is : 002533.
