Verification Items
Some FAFSAs are selected for verification by the US Department of Education. If selected, students must provide additional information in order to be eligible for Federal Student Aid. See more information here.
Billing
You will not receive a paper billing statement. Instead, you will receive an email message (sent to your Macalester email address and any other authorized users) informing you that your billing statement is ready to view. You should receive this email notification in mid-July.
If you need help estimating what you bill might be, please use this worksheet.
If you have already received your bill, and would like help calculating your payment, please visit our frequently asked questions about billing page.
Health Insurance
You will be billed for the health insurance offered by the college. To waive this fee, you will need to show proof of insurance between July 1, 2016 and no later than September 4, 2016.
Please visit the Health and Wellness Center website for more information about health insurance.
