After submiting documents for fafsa verification, how long does it take for aid package to arrive?

Question

I've been waiting for a couple weeks now. I know that my university's financial aid office had to move for a couple weeks because of building damage during a storm, and I called, they have all the information they need, they just seemed to be backed up. School is only four weeks away, and I'm getting nervous. Any idea or anecdotes on how long it takes or how long yours took after documents were submitted for verificaiton?

PS I'm not asking about the financial aid process, I know how it works. I'm just wondering about timetables.

Answer 1

Normally it can take 3-4 weeks, but since they are backed up due to weather it could take longer. If you don't get it by the time tuition is due, I would definately call them to see what your options are so you don't get dropped from your classes due to non-payment.
