• Names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers must be accurate. Use only the legal name that appears on your Social Security card. Using nicknames or preferred names will cause significant delays.
• Contributors who do not have a social security number will be able to create a FSA ID. 
• Dependent students must have a parent鈥檚 electronic signature on the FAFSA. Per federal regulation, most undergraduate students under the age of 24 are considered dependent for financial aid purposes.
  • Review the dependency guide if you feel your situation will make you an independent student. 
  • For additional information on which parent or parents to include on the FAFSA review the Who's My Parent when I fill out my FAFSA guide.
• Gather 2023 federal tax information for you and your parent(s). If you or your parent(s) did not file 2023 federal taxes you will need all earnings statements received for 2023. The student and parent(s) will need asset information as of the day you file the FAFSA. 

REMINDERS

• 2025-26 FAFSA will be available by December 1, 2024.
• You will use 2023 federal income information on the 2025-26 FAFSA.
• File the FAFSA as soon as you can.

2. SUBMIT THE FAFSA

Complete your FAFSA at .

• The student should start the FAFSA.
• Select the appropriate school year: 2025-26.
• List 蜜桃影像: our school code is 003863.
• Dependent students will need the parent's correct information to successfully invite them to contibute. 
• Complete all sections of the FAFSA.
• Enter the FSA ID for both you and your parent. Your FAFSA will be rejected if one of these is missing.
• Submit your FAFSA and print a copy for your records.

NOTES

• You and your contributor(s) must give permission for the Future Act Direct Data Exchange (FA DDX), even if you or the contributor(s) did not file 2023 taxes. By giving permission IRS information for both tax filers and non-tax filer will automatically be transferred to the FAFSA.
• When using the FA DDX, your tax data will be masked for data privacy.
• In certain situations you or your contributor will not be able to use the FA DDX and will need to manually enter the information. 
• If a student under the age of 24 selects a status that makes them independent, follow up documentaion will be required. 

3. REVIEW THE FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS)

• A FSS will be sent to the email address supplied on your FAFSA. If you did not provide a valid email address the FSS will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service.
• Read through the entire FSS to make sure the information is correct. Pay close attention to the following sections:
  • Application Status
  • What you must do now
• The FSS will show the Student Aid Indes (SAI), which is calculated using information you provided on the FAFSA.
  • The SAI is an indicator of the family鈥檚 financial strength and is used to determine financial need. Financial need then determines a student鈥檚 financial aid eligibility.
  • The SAI is not how much aid you will receive or how much you will need to pay for college. Limited available funding may cause some students to have unmet need.

These are possible next steps that will not apply to everyone.

VERIFICATION 

Your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) may indicate that your FAFSA has been selected for Verification. If your FAFSA is selected, the Office of Student Financial Aid will send you a Missing Information Letter (MIL) via your eMarq email account indicating what is needed to complete your application for financial aid. Required documents also will be listed on your 鈥淭o Do List鈥� in CheckMarq.

• All correspondence (including your MIL and FAN) will be sent to your eMarq email address. Students can obtain a paper copy of their MIL by sending an email request to marquettecentral@marquette.edu.

• The required 2025-26 Verification Worksheet will be emailed to the student's eMarq account and the parent email listed on the FAFSA through DocuSign. 

Applicants whose FAFSAs are selected for Verification are encouraged to use the Direct Data Exchange (DDX) when filing or correcting the FAFSA. This allows an automatic transfer of tax-related data. If your FAFSA is selected for Verification and the DDX was not available or not used, or changes were made to the transferred data, you are required to submit a signed copy of the 2022 Federal IRS Tax Return Transcript.

• More information on verification, go to mu.edu/central/verify2526.

• Permission must be granted to retrieve tax data using the DDX for the FAFSA to be processed.

The next steps you take depend on which loans you are taking. New direct loan borrowers will need to complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note. Optional loan borrowers will need to complete the application process specific to the loan they are applying for. 

 

MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE & ENTRANCE COUNSELING

• Required for all first time Direct Loan borrowers. 

If you are a first-time borrower at Marquette and have accepted your Federal Direct Loan(s) in CheckMarq, you will need to sign an electronic Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete Entrance Counseling online. After receiving notification via eMarq that the MPN is available, visit  and log in with your FSA ID. 

• While enrolled at Marquette, you need to sign the subsidized/unsubsidized MPN only once.

• For additional information about Entrance Counseling visit mu.edu/central/dlentrance.

OPTIONAL LOANS

The OPTIONAL loan (Parent-Student) cannot be accepted in CheckMarq. An optional loan can either be a Parent PLUS loan or a Private/Alternative loan. The amount listed on the financial aid award is the maximum that can be applied for; a lesser amount may be requested. To apply for an optional loan complete the following steps.

FEDERAL DIRECT PARENT PLUS LOAN

• For the parent of a dependent student wanting to take a loan to assist the student in paying educational expenses. 
• Parents can apply for the Parent PLUS loan beginning in mid-May for the upcoming school year. 

Follow these steps to apply for a Parent PLUS loan:

1. Beginning in mid-May visit . (Do not use studentloans.com, this is a commercial website.) The parent must submit an application for each new loan. 

2. Sign in using the parent鈥檚 FSA ID and select "Start" next to 鈥淒irect PLUS Loan Application for Parents.鈥� Do not use the student鈥檚 FSA ID to sign in.

3. Follow the steps to complete the application and credit check. In the School Name section, be sure to select 蜜桃影像.

4. The results of the parent鈥檚 credit check will be available immediately. If the credit is approved, the parent borrower will be given instructions for completing a PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note. If credit is not approved, the parent will have the option to obtain an endorser, appeal the credit decision, or not pursue the loan.

   The parent borrower who applies for the Parent PLUS loan must sign the Parent PLUS MPN.

   A parent borrower needs to sign his or her MPN only once for each student enrolled at Marquette, unless the loan is approved through an appeal or endorser.

5. If the parent or the student is an eligible non-U.S. citizen, you may also be asked to submit a copy of your U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services document to Marquette Central to verify your citizenship status.

PRIVATE ALTERNATIVE LOAN

To apply for a private alternative loan, a student must apply directly with a lending institution. Visit mu.edu/central/altloans for more information. Alternative loans are non-federal educational loans available from a variety of lending institutions. The borrower needs to have a satisfactory credit history and, in most cases, a creditworthy co-signer.

WHEN AID WILL PAY

Aid is paid no earlier than 10 days before the start of each term. Most financial aid will be divided in half and paid directly to your student account at the start of fall and spring terms.

All required documents must be received and processed before aid pays to your account. These may include, but are not limited to, the 2025-26 Verification Worksheet, 2023 Federal IRS Tax Return Transcript, loan entrance counseling, and signed Master Promissory Note. Be sure to check your eMarq email account and CheckMarq 鈥淭o Do List鈥� on a regular basis for communication of missing documents. 

REMINDERS

• You must reapply for financial aid by filing the FAFSA every year.

• The Office of Student Financial Aid must receive the results of your processed FAFSA to ensure your aid can disburse, file your FAFSA as soon as you can. It can take up to four weeks for us to review the results of your processed FAFSA.
