Service During the Holidays, Friend Accounts, and More

Service during the Holiday Season

While the university is introducing new precautions to promote safety and health, the Office of Financial Aid, Student Financial Services, and the Registrar’s Office remain committed to serving you in convenient, efficient, and safety-conscious ways.

Did you know you can conduct most of your business online and on-demand? As we scale back our on-campus activity, we encourage you to consider these online alternatives to conducting student business in person. Visit the Office of Financial Aid’s Online Business webpage for more information on the available services.

 

Go Blue Guarantee continues for 2021-2022

The U-M Go Blue Guarantee remains unchanged and continues to support undergraduate Michigan resident students. Additional eligibility information can be found at finaid.umich.edu/go-blue-guarantee-eligibility. Remember, your application must be complete by March 31 for consideration (or May 1 for continuing students).

 

Authorizing a Friend Account

You may authorize up to four persons to view your student bill and financial aid information. In Wolverine Access, visit the Student Center and select Parent/Family Authorization. You can also sign up your friends and family to receive this Office of Financial Aid newsletter.

 

Verify Direct Deposit Information

Please be sure that the bank account information attached to your U-M Direct Deposit account is accurate. If your bank account has changed or the number is incorrect, your financial aid refund cannot be disbursed and your aid will be delayed.

Log in to Wolverine Access (wolverineaccess.umich.edu) and visit the Payroll & Compensation > Direct Deposit page to verify your bank information and make any changes.

The customer service staff at the U-M Shared Services Center handles inquiries about Direct Deposit. If you have questions, call 734-615-2000 (select Option 2) or email [email protected] (include your eight digit U-M ID number). You can also visit finance.umich.edu/finops/payroll/contact/customerservice for additional help.
