I completed my FAFSA, does UWL have it?
Once your FAFSA is processed, you'll get your FAFSA submission summary. You will also be able to see this status on your studentaid.gov dashboard. This indicates that full processing has been achieved by Federal Student Aid (for initial transactions), so within a few business days UWL should get your FAFSA. Once we have your FAFSA you will get an e-mail stating we've received it.
Watch your To-Do list in WINGS and your e-mail for any additional information or documents we may need or notification that your aid offer is ready.
