Undergraduate Students (Continuing) Fall 2025/Spring 2026
- Submit both the 2025-2026 FAFSA and CSS Profile applications to determine aid eligibility for the next school year. It's important to remember to complete and submit the CSS Profile if you are needing aid consideration for the SMU Opportunity Grant.
- Helpful video tutorials have been made available on the side menu and below with FAQ's to provide guidance on completing the FAFSA.
- Scholarship renewal review will occur after Spring 2025 grades have been posted. Should a student fall below the minimum GPA requirements, students can enroll in SMU May and/or summer term(s) and grades earned can be used in the GPA calculation prior to the Fall 2025 term. Grades earned from other colleges/universities will not be calculated into the SMU GPA, only course credit will be allowed to transfer (with prior approval from your academic department). Please contact the Financial Aid Advising Office for additional information.
- Students and their families are encouraged to have their financial aid applications completed once made available. Student Financial Services is anticipating financial aid offers for the 2025-2026 school year to begin to be available as early as mid May 2025.
- Make sure to check your SMU e-mail for any request for additional documents to complete your financial aid offer.
- Regularly check your SMU Dashboard's To-Do checklist in my.SMU.
