Microsoft will automatically send you a copy of your submitted form response. You will then receive an email approval for the individual service(s) you have been approved. Applications typically get processed within two weeks of submission. However, processing may take a little longer at the beginning of the semester and less time towards the end. If we are in the middle of a current semester, and you are applying for the next semester your application will be reviewed after final grades are posted.
