If you received a confirmation when the FAFSA was submitted, and UCO's Federal School Code was listed, the information should be with the university within 3 business days. You can check the status of your submission by logging into the Federal Student Aid website rather than calling the school.
UCO will automatically receive a copy of the report electronically. You will not receive an email from UCO once the FAFSA is received. You will need to check your UCONNECT for updates and additional requirements needed.
The new FAFSA application normally becomes available on October 1st of each year (for the 2025-2026 FAFSA cycle, the application will be available by December 1, 2024). If you complete your FAFSA in October, November, or December, don’t expect to receive any notification from UCO until mid-January or early February.
