We strongly recommend that all students complete the FAFSA. Although they may not qualify for federal grants, they may qualify for state grants. We’re happy to walk you and your family through the application process.
Federal Student Aid Identification Number (FSAid)
Before beginning the FAFSA, you should apply for a . The FSAid will allow you to sign your FAFSA electronically and to correct your processed FAFSA information online. Because you are providing parent information on the FAFSA, one of your parents must also sign your application. To sign electronically, your parent must also apply for his or her own FSAid. Each FSAid applicant will need to provide personal information such as social security number and date of birth.
When applying for your FSAid, we recommend that you make it something easy to remember. Please don't share your FSAid with anyone.
If a student completes the FAFSA online without the appropriate FSAid(s), the application will not be processed unless the student submits the signature page with the appropriate signature(s) via mail.

Financial Aid Summery
After you have completed the FAFSA, a Financial Aid Summary will be available for you to see at
It lists answers to the questions on the student’s FAFSA form and gives basic estimates about the student’s eligibility for federal student aid. It is not a financial aid offer.
How Your Aid is Determined
Your financial aid is based on your FAFSA results as well as your "Cost of Attendance", a figure that is estimated based on your tuition and fees, housing, transportation, and other expenses for an academic year.
Academic Year
At the 香港六合彩开奖, an academic year consists of Fall, Winter and a Summer semester. With the exception of a few programs that require year round attendance, financial aid is generally packaged for Fall and Winter.
Students that would like financial aid for a summer term, not enrolled in a year round program will need to submit a institutional Summer Financial Aid Application. Please visit by the Financial Aid forms website in January to complete your Summer Financial Aid Application for the upcoming summer semester.
Award Notification
Expect to receive your financial aid package notification by email when your file becomes complete. The emails will be sent to official Detroit Mercy student email accounts. Students will use the to access student account information, including financial aid awards.
Determine how much financial aid you will need by using the budget information found in the My Portal, or be reviewing your Student Account Summary. Confirm the award in the My Portal by "Accepting", "Declining" or reducing the aid offered. It's that simple!

If your award changes, you will receive a notification of a change to your award with instructions about reviewing the current award in the . If you know that a change is necessary, please contact financial aid at 313-993-3350.
Request for Additional Information
Some applications require that additional information be submitted before it is complete. Please respond promptly to all requests and include your student number on each document. You may also be selected for Verification. It is important that you respond promptly as federal financial aid cannot be released to your account until verification has been completed.
Special Circumstances
In some cases, the information presented on the FAFSA may not reflect the family's true ability to contribute towards a students education. In cases where an unusual circumstance, such as, loss of work/income, death or birth in the family, etc. may affect the ability to contribute, financial aid professionals can sometimes make adjustments that more accurately reflect the family circumstances. To be considered for this type of review, students must submit the Special Circumstances form, with all pertinent documentation to the financial aid office.
Dependency Overrides
On rare occasions, there may be a need to override a student's dependency status. A financial aid administrator (FAA) may do dependency overrides on a case-by-case basis for students with unusual circumstances. If the FAA determines that an override is appropriate, she must write out the determination and retain it and the supporting documentation. However, none of the conditions listed below, singly or in combination, qualify as unusual circumstances meriting a dependency override:
- Parents refuse to contribute to the student’s education.
- Parents are unwilling to provide information on the FAFSA or for verification.
- Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes.
- The student demonstrates total self-sufficiency.
Unusual circumstances do include (and may cause any of the above conditions) abandonment by parents, an abusive family environment that threatens the student’s health or safety, or the student being unable to locate their parents. In such cases a dependency override might be warranted. If your circumstances warrant a dependency override, contact your financial aid advisor for guidance.
Disbursement Information
Financial aid is expected to be released to student accounts 10 days prior to the start of classes for each semester. Aid cannot be disbursed until the requirements are met for each program. Disbursements to student accounts continue as requirements are met. If the disbursement of aid to student accounts create a credit balance, refunds will be released to students within 14 days of the financial aid payment. The 香港六合彩开奖 recommends students set up Direct Deposit for financial aid refunds as students will have access to the funds earlier than those who are issued paper checks.
Students can sign up for Direct Deposit in the My Portal, on the Student tab, under Personal Profile, and then under Direct Deposit. Students who do not select to receive refunds by Direct Deposit will be issued a paper check, which will be mailed to the Home Address listed in their the My Portal Account.
Accept your award online
Students can review and accept their financial aid award online using the . Applicants will be notified about their financial aid awards, missing requirements, and loan disbursements via their the My Portal email account.

Verification Process
Each year the federal government selects families to verify the information submitted on the FAFSA.
Verification must be completed no later than 30 days after the last date of the term you are enrolled in. Failure to do so will result in loss of any federal or state aid, including grants and loans. The student will be responsible for any resulting balance.
If your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is selected for verification, you may be required to verify one or more of the items listed below.
VERIFICATION ITEMS
1. Household size, taxable household income, untaxed household income
If your application is selected for traditional verification, the Verification Worksheet is available in on our Financial Aid Forms website Please complete ALL sections of the Verification Worksheet. This form must be signed and dated by both the student and one (1) parent (if the student is dependent). Please read the verification request carefully and follow the instructions to avoid delays.
Because this form of verification includes taxable household income, we must request that the student and/or their parents provide Federal income tax information before funds may be paid to the student's account. If you are completing the 2024-25 FAFSA, please provide the 2022 tax information.
2. Identity & Educational Purpose
Students who are selected for identity and educational purpose must visit the Financial Aid Office in person to verify their identity and sign a statement declaring that their financial aid will be used for the purpose of paying for their education. To verify identity, the student must present a government issued ID such as a driver's license or passport. For complete details, please see our Statement of Educational Purpose.
