THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW…
Have you received your 2013-14 Financial Aid Award?
The Office of Student Financial Aid has been processing aid awards for 2013-14 since March. If you have not received an email advising you of your award, please check your To Do List in CheckMarq. Your application may be in a 'suspended state' because you need to complete additional steps in the application process.
FAFSA IRS Data Retrieval
If your financial aid application was selected for verification, you will need to transfer your 2012 tax data from the IRS website to your 2013-14 FAFSA. You can use the 2013-14 Link to the IRS Data Retrieval Tool at www.FAFSA.gov to complete the transfer. Click here to view an excellent video that walks you through the IRS Data Retrieval process.
Submit all Requested Documents On Time!
Access and read your Marquette Email frequently. Important notices are sent out by our office and the Office of Student Financial Aid about deadlines and additional forms and documentation you may need to submit.
Students lose financial assistance when requested documents are not submitted when requested.
