"My Financial Aid" Instructions

The InsideND portal houses the "My Financial Aid" portal for currently enrolled students.  Students can use "My Financial Aid" to access important financial aid information, such as their submitted and outstanding applications and documents, their annual Financial Aid Offer, as well as a summary of their federal student loan borrowing. This information is available 24/7 allowing students to check on their status at times when the Office of Financial Aid may not be available. 

Communications from the Office of Financial Aid

In most cases, email to a student's Notre Dame email address is used as the primary means of communicating with enrolled students. The email provided on the admission application is only used for prospective and newly admitted students.  PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE: The Office of Financial Aid sends all correspondence to the student. The student is responsible for sharing the information with their parents.
