How FAFSAs are Processed

Robert Morris University electronically submits the FAFSA data to the Department of Education. The Department checks the accuracy with the Social Security Administration, Selective Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the National Student Loan Database and calculates each student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The results (ISIR) are transmitted to Robert Morris University within seven business days. Students will receive the results from the Department of Education via US mail. Students who mail the FAFSA will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail and must bring the SAR to the Financial Services Department if RMU is not one of the colleges listed.
