3. Have you registered for classes?
Please contact your school and register for classes.
You must be registered for classes prior to filling out your Master
Promissory Note (MPN). Filling out a MPN prior to class registration
will delay the processing of your funds.

Once your application is processed by FAFSA, both you and the school's financial aid office
will receive the SAR. Then you can complete your Master Promissory Note.
If you have not received you SAR within 3 weeks after submitting your application
online or within 6 weeks after submitting ahard copy application, you should check the
status online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or
call 800.4FED.AID. You may also want to call the school's financial aid office and see if
they have received their copy.
