News and Information

Deans and graduate list to be sent

The end-of-the-semester deans list and graduate list will be sent to local newspapers by mid-February. The newspaper the list is sent to is based off of the student's zip code on his or her permanent address. We ask that individuals do not send their own announcements to local newspapers.

Financial Aid Toolbox
NMU wants to make the financial aid process as easy to understand as possible, which is why we created the NMU Financial Aid Toolbox for students, parents and teachers. Included in the toolbox is the NMU Financial Aid Pathfinder, which outlines Northern’s financial aid process in step-by-step fashion. This is also a cost calculator, a glossary of terms and much more. Check it out.
