Refund and Drop/Add Deadlines
It is extremely important to check the Refund and Drop/Add Deadlines before dropping or adding a course once the term has begun. The calendar indicates what, if anything, is required to drop or add a course according to when the change is being made. It also states the financial and academic consequences of dropping or adding a course. If a student is receiving financial aid it is important he/she contacts Rockne Bergman, the financial aid officer for the School of Public Health before dropping a course.
Financial Aid
School of Public Health students are eligible for federal financial aid. At the graduate level this aid comes in the form of federal loans. Students must be enrolled for at least four credits per term (three credits during the summer) to be eligible.
To apply for financial aid, the student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Use the University of Minnesota’s school code, 003969, to have your FAFSA information sent to us.
Information about the financial aid application process including deadlines as well as a student's financial aid account status is available via the One Stop website by clicking on the "Financial Aid" link in the middle or by clicking on the "Financial Aid Status" quick link.
