Students completing the FASA will no longer have to wait to view their FAFSA Submission Summary.
In a June 1 Electronic Announcement, the Department of Education announced that they have launched a processing enhancement that allows students to immediately view their FAFSA Submission Summary when signing and submitting an initial application or correction of a 2025-26 or 2026-27 FAFSA. In addition, financial aid professionals, state agencies, and other partners will be able to immediately view processed Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) in the FAFSA Partner Portal.
This enhancement will allow students to view their confirmed Student Aid Index (SAI), Federal Pell Grant eligibility, and any comment or reject codes.
The enhancement also allows students to make up to four corrections without waiting for the typical one-to-three-day processing delay between transactions. Students will be able to review and resolve issues more quickly.
The announcement states that a limited population of students do not yet have access to real-time results functionality and Veteran applicants will continue to experience the one-to-three-day processing timeline until the real-time functionality is available for this population.
The real-time FAFSA enhancement will allow financial aid partners to assist students more quickly in the financial aid process and decision making.
