Need to Know...

Need financial aid?

Don't delay! Submit a 2013-2014 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) now to have your fall semester aid on time. The FAFSA determines your eligibility for scholarships, grants, work-study, and student loans. Be sure to include the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities’ school code 003969.

Exit counseling

Graduating soon? Exit counseling is required for all borrowers of federal and University-administered loans. You will receive an email informing you of when you should complete your counseling. A hold will remain on your student record until it is complete.

Commencement

UMR commencement for students graduating in spring 2013 will be held Saturday, May 18th. Make sure there are no holds on your record. If you owe the University money, you will not receive transcripts or diplomas, or have your degree verified.

May/Summer aid

If you are planning to enroll for May/summer term and need financial aid, you are not required to complete a separate financial aid application to have eligibility determined for grants, work-study, and loans. In early May, an electronic Financial Aid Award Notice (eFAAN) of financial aid eligibility will be sent to your official University email address. Summer financial aid disbursement begins May 20th.
