For returning students, packages are generally sent out in late spring to early summer. It’s important to note that these timelines can vary based on when your FAFSA application was completed and processed. Additionally, any required documentation or verification processes can influence the timing. We recommend students regularly check their 海角论坛 email for notifications and updates regarding their financial aid package. If you have concerns about not receiving your package within the expected timeframe, please reach out to the Scholarship & Financial Aid Office for assistance and clarification. 

The notifications will be sent by email to the student’s Detroit Mercy email address.

Students will be instructed to review their award and pending requirements by logging into  account.  Students can accept, decline or reduce the award presented right from their My Portal account.  The Scholarship and Financial Aid Office will not be mailing award letters to students.  All account information can be viewed in their My Portal account, including class schedule, tuition and fees.

Financial aid applications are commonly selected for verification.  Each year the federal government selects families to verify the information submitted on the FAFSA. At least 30% of all financial aid applications are federally selected for verification. To find out if you have been selected for verification, check your financial aid requirements on My Portal. See more on the verification process.

If in verification, all need-based, federal, and state aid offered are estimated until the verification process is complete and subject to change based on verification results. 

The majority of 海角论坛's Scholarships require that students enroll full-time and maintain a 2.0 GPA at minimum. Students receiving merit, and non-need-based aid are not required to complete the FAFSA for renewal. These awards are automatically renewed for up to 8 semesters (fall and winter) and will be applied to students' accounts during the summer term. 

Students not meeting SAP standards are notified by email following the conclusion of each term. The first time a student does not meet SAP standards, a student will be placed on a warning. Aid will be renewed for that semester. If the student fails to meet SAP standards the subsequent semester, they will be notified that they are failing to meet SAP and are not eligible for financial aid. Students do have the ability to submit an appeal explaining their extenuating circumstances. 

Federal loan programs have annual and cumulative maximums. Students can view their borrowing history at .

Refunds, for those enrolled as indicated on the award notification and have an excess of financial aid, are mailed to students beginning the first Friday of classes, and on a rolling basis as funds become available.  Be sure to update your mailing address in My Portal.  For faster and more efficient delivery of refunds, please set up direct deposit for student refunds in your My Portal.
