You have now been offered financial aid. These are your next steps in making sure that you are financially prepared to begin the semester at Ferris State University.
FINANCIAL AID CHECKLIST
___ Before you can take action on your award, you must obtain access to our Ferris communication portal, MyFSU. Please click here for instructions if you have not yet accessed MyFSU.
___ Review and Accept your financial aid award offer online. Click here for instructions.
If you are unsure about whether to accept student loans that have been offered to you, we encourage you to determine if you have other financial sources available to cover the Cost of Attendance as outlined on your award. If you are a dependent student, you should speak to your parents to see if they have identified sources of funding to cover your college expenses. Keep in mind that if you accept loans now, you can always change your mind at a later date. We are happy to cancel loans with a simple email request. There are no obligations.
___ Be sure to check your Ferris email on a regular basis. This is how we will communicate with you - even before you begin classes. You do not want to miss out on important notifications.
___ Check for Missing Requirements. Be sure to check for Missing Requirements in the Financial Aid section of MyFSU on a regular basis to prevent financial aid processing delays. Keep in mind that some requirements may be added in the summer before you start school.
