The Office of Financial Aid begins notifying entering students of their Fall/Winter financial aid awards in March. Notification for continuing students begins in mid-June. (Award notification for the Spring and Summer terms typically begins in early April. Students admitted for Winter term receive financial aid awards on a rolling basis.)
You will receive an email alerting you that you have an Award Notice to view on Wolverine Access.
