Spring/Summer Aid
Spring and Summer terms are considered the end of the academic year. Therefore the amount of aid that is available for distribution to students during this time depends on how much was distributed during the fall and winter semesters. The amount of grants, loans, and work study available in spring or summer is considerably less than what is typically available during the rest of the academic year.

If I miss the priority deadline is there any chance for spring/summer aid?
Yes, you can still apply for aid. However, your application will be considered "late." Late applications will not be looked at until all on-time applications have been processed. Typically very little or no grant funds will remain when late applications are processed.

NOTE: the aid you receive at other schools during the 2007/2008 academic year will impact the aid you are eligible for at UM-Flint.
I'm a UM-Flint student, but I haven't attended in a few years. What do I need to do to get spring/summer aid?

How do I know what I have been offered for spring/summer?
You will receive an award notice in your UM-Flint email account. This will direct you to look at the "Awards by Term" screen in SIS. You will then be able to see what you are eligible for during the spring/summer.
Do I have to accept my loans like I do in the fall/winter?
No, if you indicate that you want loans on your spring/summer application we will automatically accept them for you if you are eligible.
When does spring/summer aid pay?
Spring and summer aid will pay on the first day of class for each term.
