Most important thing you need to know...

All incoming freshmen for the 2024-25 academic year are required to file two FAFSAs. You must file the 2024-25 FAFSA using 2021 federal tax information for the summer program and 2024-25 FAFSA using 2022 federal tax information for the academic year.  If you do not file a tax return, you will be reporting your yearly nontaxable income ex. SSI, SS, etc.  Your acceptance may be rescinded if you do not comply with filing the 2023-24 FAFSA by May 1, 2024.

2024-25 FAFSA filing will begin on December 31st.  Be prepared to begin filing using 2022  federal tax information.  Be sure to use the IRS retrieval tool to transfer your income information if eligible.  You must have a social security number to use IRS retrieval, otherwise, enter information manually.

Other Things You Need to Know

All continuing students with outstanding balances and no payment arrangements will not have access to registration for spring classes until this matter has been resolved. Contact Debbie Duff at debra.duff@marquette.edu for assistance.

Go to CheckMarq to review your bursar balances and check for BR1 registration and transcript hold. If you see this message, you will not be able to register until your account is in compliance with payments and arrangements.

Holds are not immediately removed from your account, so resolve the matter before your registration day comes. It takes an average of 24 hours for access to register. Continuing students should accept or decline loans and/or Federal Work Study that are still listed as offered but have not been Accepted or Declined for 2023-2024 academic year.
