Beginning Monday, Dec. 9, WMU’s Student Financial Aid office is introducing a new easy, mobile, personalized process that will make everything about navigating financial aid easier. Students will be able to: complete financial aid forms on their mobile devices, securely upload documents from any device, e-sign documents and more! Current students are already part-way through our existing process and it is advised they complete all existing requirements before the new process is implemented. More information is available at wmich.edu/finaid/newprocess.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to join the Office of Student Financial Aid for two Financial Aid Forums. Two sessions are available on Friday, Dec. 13 and Tuesday, Jan. 28. The first forum will cover the new financial aid process and the second will review satisfactory academic progress. Future forum topics will include an in-depth view of specific regulatory requirements and polices that impact various departments working with students.

Our office has updated the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form with new deadlines. Please be advised that these deadlines go into effect immediately.
