The Spring/Summer financial aid process is a bit different both for students entering U-M or attending as a continuing student during these optional academic terms. See the section below specific to your situation.
ENTERING STUDENTS: AID APPLICATION & DEADLINES
If you are a first-time, dependent undergraduate planning to attend U-M beginning 2018 Spring or Summer terms, we must receive aid application materials for Spring/Summer and the coming Fall/Winter terms to process your aid. This includes the FAFSA, PROFILE, plus any additional documents requested by our office. Here are the deadlines:
- Complete and submit the 2018-19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (use federal code 002325) and the 2018-19 CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE (Use U-M's CSS code 1839). These are available on October 1. To be considered for all aid programs, we must receive your FAFSA record and your PROFILE application (to be considered for institutional grants and scholarships) by April 30.
- Complete and submit the 2017-18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (use federal code 002325). We must receive your FAFSA record and all supplemental documents requested by May 10 for Spring Term and June 15 for Summer Term.

CONTINUING STUDENTS: REQUEST FOR FUNDS & YOUR FINANCIAL AID
To apply for Spring/Summer aid, complete a Spring/Summer Request for Funds form, available Feb. 1 through July 31 each year. If you have not yet completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the current year, you must complete the FAFSA now and submit it to the federal processor in order to apply for Spring/Summer aid. Study abroad students complete the appropriate Study Abroad Financial Aid request. See the menu below for the appropriate forms.
Example: If you are applying for 2018 Spring/Summer Aid and have already submitted a 2017-2018 FAFSA for Fall/Winter aid, do not submit another FAFSA when applying. (If you did NOT submit a 2017-2018 FAFSA, you must file one to be considered for Spring/Summer 2018 aid. We may ask for additional materials as your application is reviewed.)
SPRING/SUMMER APPLICATION DEADLINES & MATERIALS
Spring/Summer financial aid information and application materials are posted each February and remain available through July 31. If you are undecided about attending Spring/Summer terms, apply for financial aid. There is no penalty.
CHANGES FOR 2018 AND WHEN TO APPLY: In addition to your U-M applications and forms, we must receive your FAFSA from the federal processor in order to process your financial aid. Beginning with the Spring/Summer 2018 terms, award notification will begin on Feb. 1, 2018 and will be done on a first-come, first-served, rolling basis, as students apply. Grant funding for Spring/Summer 2018 is expected to be limited so be sure to apply early to be considered.
Spring Term aid applications will be accepted until June 1, 2018 and Summer Term and Combined Spring/Summer Term aid applications accepted through July 31. The Office of Financial Aid will be unable to process Spring/Summer applications submitted after these deadline dates.
