How long does the Professional Judgment (PJ) process take?
• Completing the Professional Judgement review process depends on the speed with which the student provides all necessary documentation. Once all requested documentation has been received, the student’s situation will be formally reviewed and a decision will generally be made within a week (depending on the complexity of the PJ appeal/information). Students wishing information regarding their PJ appeal should contact a PJ counselor at OSFA. If the PJ approval necessitates changes to the student’s FAFSA, it will take approximately 5 additional business days for us to receive the changed information from the Federal Processor.
