FAFSA on the Web - the fastest way to apply for aid


Check Your Application and Award Status


All of the following are very helpful as a start,
but unfortunately *none* of them will tell you the entire story. 

Please contact us with any questions about your status - or change of status.


Be sure to safefuard your PINs, and use the option where you can to change your PINs from time to time.

1)
Use CUNY's EFAP to check Your FAFSA and TAP Application Status / and Aid Awards at CUNY - https://portal.cuny.edu/cms/id/cuny/documents/informationpage/006373.htm - An easy way to check CUNY's information about your applications, edits and problems.  Your tentative awards may be posted here, but you will NOT be able to see on this system the complete evaluation of your eligibility for those awards based on your registration or other eligibility criteria.   INFORMATION FOR 2005-2006 AVAILABLE STARTING JUNE 16, 2005. Information for 2004-2005 is no longer available. Please note - only current students will be able to access financial aid information at this time through the CUNY Portal. 

If you have trouble with your CUNY Portal registration or login, see additional instructions the Provost's Office has posted for another portal application at http://qcpages.qc.cuny.edu/edtech/BlackBoard/portalProblems.html
[Information about the email address update process referred to on the Provost's site is at http://www.qc.cuny.edu/OCT/  under SYSTEM ALERTS on the left side of the page. You will need to use your QC registration PIN to access esims at http://esims.cuny.edu, where it leads you to update your email address.]

2) Aid Applied to Your Tuition / Fees Bill at QC - http://webreg.qc.edu
See that portion of your aid that's been applied to your semester's tuition / fees bill by selecting the Billing / Financial Aid Link from the menu after you sign in. You use the QC registration system PIN for this one.

If aid you expected to be applied toward your bill does not show here, contact the Financial Aid Office immediately.

3)  TAP Application Status with NYS - http://hesc.com/bulletin.nsf/0/65A8B338ACDE363885256D900061E35E?OpenDocument&a=CA
Check whether HESC in Albany has your application, what they are waiting for, your college codes, and make college code changes.  Before your information is available here, you must either have completed your entire TAP on the Web, or responded to inquiries from the University to complete your appocation on paper. This system will not tell you whether you are registered at QC in an eligible way to receive aid awarded by NYS.

4) FAFSA Application Status with the Federal Processor - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/FOTWWebApp/follow003.jsp
Is the Federal Processor waiting for something from you? Are there federal edits you need to respond to? You use your federal financial aid PIN for this one. NOTE: This will not tell you awards, or whether you are registered at QC in an eligible way to receive any Federal aid you have been aid awarded.
