3. FAFSA Status
Here is what happens after you file the FAFSA:
- The U.S. Department of Education will email you a Student Aid Report (SAR). Read your SAR thoroughly, check it for accuracy and follow up on any requests for additional information
- Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is calculated from information you provided on the FAFSA and is listed on your SAR. The EFC is the amount your family is expected to contribute to your education for the upcoming year. If you have special circumstances, you may notify the District Financial Aid Office by completing the Special Circumstance Form.
- If your FAFSA is selected by the U.S. Department of Education for a process called verification, you will need to submit additional information to WCCCD. Check WEB GATE and WCCCD Student Forms for your financial aid requirements and status. Be sure to check Web Gate, WCCCD Student Forms and your email often for updates.
