Once CCAC has received your FAFSA, it is critical that you continue to check your Financial Aid status to determine if Action is needed, the file is Complete, or current staff review is In-progress.

  • The process time for CCAC to receive a submitted/updated FAFSA can take up to 3-5 business days. If you have EXCEEDED this time period, please check your FAFSA to ensure your submission was successful, that it was done for correct year, and you have CCAC listed under the school section.
  • If you feel that CCAC should have already received your FAFSA, please contact the CCAC Financial Aid Office for assistance.
