How can i find out the status of the pell grant?

I found out that I did qualify for the pell, a wondering how I find out when I can get it. My financial aid advisor is impossible to get in contact with.
Answer:

I found out a couple of weeks back that I qualified for a full pell grant. In order for the financial aid office to figure the amount I was going to get, they needed me to declare my degree and then enroll in classes. After I did that, within a few days I was able to go online to my schools website to find out the amount of my grant. The way it is set up at my school, the money is put into an account and tution cost are deducted from that. The remaining amout is set aside as a bookstore credit. After you purchase your books, whatever is left over is given to you in the form of a check 2 weeks after the start of school. With it being so close to the start of school, I know the financial office is pretty busy, so it would probably be best to go to the school if possible or find out if your school has a website for you to check the status of your pell grant. As far as the amount of your pell grant, you can't go to fafsa.ed.gov to find out the amount, the school has that info.
