Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements

Federal law requires all students who receive financial aid to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward their degree. The requirements that NMU students must meet can be found here.

Warning "Student Financial Resource Center"

A company called "Student Financial Resource Center" has been mailing information to students indicating "It's time to apply for all available 2012-2013 financial aid programs" and to "submit the enclosed Student Aid Profile Form (SAPF)". This solicitation is NOT endorsed by NMU and families should NEVER pay to have their financial aid application processed.

In the past "College Financial Advisory" sent similar information to students regarding applying for financial aid. Further information on this warning can be found here.

The FAFSA for the 2012-2013 academic year will be available after January 1, 2012. If you have questions about the credibility of mailings you have received regarding financial aid please contact our office directly at (906)227-2327.
