STUDENT AID REPORT (SAR)
About 3-5 weeks after you mail the FAFSA or the renewal FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U.S. Department of Education. Review the information listed for accuracy and be sure that Butte College is listed in the college choice section. If you need to make changes or corrections to your Student Aid Report, you can bring them to our office and we will submit them electronically to the Federal Processor for you. If you do not receive a Student Aid Report within 5 weeks of filing, you must follow up with the processor by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243)
If your application has been selected for a process called verification by the Department of Education or by the College, Butte College will notify you and request the additional documentation that is needed to complete your processing. Butte College does not require that you submit your SAR to our office if you have listed Butte College on your FAFSA. If you did not originally list Butte College, we will be able to request your record from the federal processor if you provide us with a duplicate/photo copy of your SAR. You also may call the Central Processor and request that Butte College be added to your SAR. Our school code is 006972.
