Financial Aid Complaints
Students who have complaints about financial aid should first work with a Financial Aid Specialist in the Enrollment Services Office to resolve the dispute.
Enrollment Services - Tanis Building
Phone: (231) 995-1035
Email: sfs@nmc.edu
Should the dispute not be resolved after working with the financial aid staff, students may ask to be forwarded to the Director of Financial Aid.
The Financial Aid Office will review all complaints sent directly to the Director of Financial Aid, Dean of Students, Vice President for Student Services and Technology, President of the College and all other officials who may receive a complaint regarding issues with financial aid. All complaints are taken seriously, and will be viewed and responded to promptly.
If the dispute is not resolved to the student’s satisfaction, there are resources outside of the college that may assist:
