Rejected FAFSA Application

You recently submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which was processed and your application was sent to the school. Your FAFSA was sent to us in a rejected status, which means there are discrepancies that need to be corrected to continue the financial aid process. We are unable to process a financial aid award package until your FAFSA is out of this rejected status.

To resolve this issue for 2023-2024

  1. Read the comments on your processed FAFSA or Student Aid Report (SAR) to determine what is missing or is inconsistent, and correct the information as necessary. You can review your comments at www.studentaid.gov. Be sure to select the 2023-2024 FAFSA.
  2. Once you have determined what needs to be corrected, go back on the FAFSA website at www.studentaid.gov, log in to your FAFSA, and make the corrections as necessary.
  3. Sign your corrections with your FSA ID and your parent's FSA ID (if you are a dependent student).

If you are unable to determine why your FAFSA was rejected or how to correct it, please contact the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@ptc.edu or call us at 864-941-8365.  Please include your name and P# when emailing or leaving a message.
