New Raider News Email Series
Welcome to the University of Mount Union. We are excited to have you as a new student on campus this August! At Mount, you'll find a community that offers nonstop activity and opportunities to get involved. And best of all, it's a place that feels like home.
Financial Aid
Mount Union's Office of Student Financial Aid is here to help you and your family work through the financial details of becoming a student on campus. The University knows that financial aid is of huge importance to families, so our team is here to help! The  financial aid website  is a great resource during this time of year.
 
To get started, if you haven't already, be sure to complete the  Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) . Many of you have already received a financial aid package from Mount Union, which is put together after the University receives your FAFSA information. Members of Mount Union's Office of Student Financial Aid are happy to talk with you more about the items in that packet! You can also access your financial aid information through our  Financial Aid Portal  using your student ID number.

We encourage you to set up an appointment by completing this  online form  so that you can get all your questions answered about financial aid. These appointments can be held on campus or over the phone - the choice is yours! 
Coming Soon! - Payment Options and the First Bill
In May, you should have received an email from the Office of Business Affairs which provided you with information on how to access your online bill and payment options for your  tuition expenses for the 2018-2019 academic year .
 
Your fall semester payment is due by July 31. Please review the three payment options available , and decide how you will pay your bill before this deadline.

In addition to the information you received about your bill and payment options, you received instructions on how to access required Office of Business Affairs forms which all students must complete. Please visit our website to access more information about these forms and to complete them. Office of Business Affairs forms should be completed prior to July 1 st .

For any questions you have regarding your bill or these required forms, please contact the Office of Business Affairs at (330) 823-6557.

You @ Mount Union
Now that you have decided to attend Mount Union, offices will be contacting you regularly using your Mount Union email address. Be sure to check your Mount Union email at least a few times a week; however, we recommend checking daily. In addition to your inbox, you should also check the messages in your "Clutter" folder to be sure that there are no important messages in that folder, instead of your inbox.
