Within 7-10 days after your FAFSA is processed DMACC will reach out to you via your DMACC email address, so check it often.

You will be directed to Banner Self Service (accessible through myDMACC) to view your additional "requirements".

Your financial aid information will be processed after all forms and information that was requested of you have been submitted to the DMACC Financial Aid Office.

You will receive a notification sent to your DMACC email to let you know when you have a financial aid award offer ready to view.

You will be able to review your financial aid eligibility from the state and federal government - such as federal grants, loans, and college Work-Study.

Instructions to Accepting Your Financial Aid Award

  • If you need help understanding your financial aid award, you can get help by contacting the DMACC Financial Aid Office or by accessing the "Financing Your Education at DMACC" (PDF) booklet.
