ADMISSION    Apply for Admission to U. T. Permian Basin.  You do have to be accepted and registered for classes to receive funds.

FAFSA (Click here to go to FASFA Website)  Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the correct year and semester(s) that you plan to attend.  Don't forget to include U. T. Permian Basin's school code 009930.  When completing the FAFSA, the tax return should be completed, but does not have to be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service yet.  However, using estimated data does delay processing.  If you plan to fill out a Special Circumstance Form, Dependent Care Form, or Dependency Status Change Form, you should make an appointment with the Office of Financial Aid BEFORE you submit the FAFSA.  Allow 3-5 weeks processing time for electronic submission of the FAFSA, and 4-6 weeks for paper submission by mail.

When your FAFSA has been processed, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail, or through email.  The SAR is your copy of the results of the FAFSA.  You do not need to bring it to the Office of Financial Aid.  We will receive an electronic copy from the processing center.  As soon as your SAR arrives in the mail, READ IT COMPLETELY!  It may contain important information regarding corrections and/or additional required documents.  If you need to make corrections, do so immediately and mail your SAR back to the processing center.  You must then wait until the corrections are processed, and another SAR will be mailed to you in 2-3 weeks.  Thirty percent of all applicants are selected for a process called Verification.  If you are selected you will be notified in your SAR.  If there are no corrections needed on your SAR, simply keep it for your records.
