The University of Michigan Medical School is committed to supporting students in navigating barriers they encounter in medical school that are caused by disabilities -- whether that disability pre-existed, develops while at school, or is recognized for the first time during their time here. Students are encouraged to contact our Learning and Accessibility team for a private, confidential discussion about barriers related to disability that they may encounter in medical school. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis, and require an interview with the student, a review of clinical documentation, and a determination of the reasonableness of the accommodation request.

For more information, please see the Medical School’s Students with Disabilities website.

Information on the Medical School's faculty and instructional personnel is available on the Medical School’s individual department websites.

Many offices at the University of Michigan collect and maintain information about students. Although these records belong to the university, both university policy and federal law accord students a number of rights concerning these records. The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) establishes rules and regulations for access to and disclosure of student records.

To fulfill FERPA requirements, the university has established Policies on Student Records. These policies outline a student's rights regarding their records, where records may be kept and maintained, what kinds of information are in those records, the conditions under which the student or others may have access, and what action a student can take regarding perceived inaccuracies or if a student's rights have been compromised. The policies on student records are published by the Office of the Registrar. For more information or to receive a copy, contact the Office of the Registrar, 2200 Student Activities Bldg., 515 E. Jefferson St.; Phone: 734-764-3507; Web: Registrar's Officer.

Because the university does not maintain all student records in one location, the U-M Board of Regents requires each office maintaining such records to develop written policies and procedures for handling those records. Policy statements are available for students to examine in each respective office. In addition, copies of the university's policies on student records and the pertinent federal law, FERPA, are posted in the Office of the Registrar's Student Services locations and are also available through the Office of Medical Student Education.

To receive funds administered by the Financial Aid Office at the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS), a student must be making measurable academic progress toward their degree program.

The university has a tuition refund policy that stipulates the amount of tuition and fees that are refunded to a student who withdraws from all classes during a term. This policy is published by the Office of the Registrar and by the UMMS Financial Aid Office on the web and in publications. View the refund policy, or contact the Medical School Financial Aid Office for a copy.

The federal government mandates that students withdrawing from all classes may keep only the financial aid (federal "Title IV" grant and loan assistance) they have "earned" up to the time of withdrawal. Funds paid in excess of the earned amount must be returned by the university and/or the student. Students who have withdrawn will be reviewed to ensure that all eligible aid will be included in the calculation, with the exception of eligible, but undisbursed, federal loans. Students eligible for a federal loan disbursement will first be contacted to ask if they want the loan disbursed or cancelled.

U-M will return all federal student aid funding to the appropriate Federal Title IV Fund. Students will be billed on their U-M student account for any amount returned to the federal government on their behalf.. Review the tuition repayment policy online, or contact the Medical School Financial Aid Office for a copy.

The university encourages students and prospective students to address complaints relating to U-M's institutional policies and consumer protection issues first with personnel in the office, department, school, or college that led to the complaint alleged. If needed, senior university administrators may also become involved to help resolve complaints. If you have concerns regarding the quality of instruction provided at UMMS or UMMS's ongoing ability to meet its accreditation requirements, you may contact UMMS’s accreditor, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. If your concerns about the university involve consumer protection issues, you may contact the Consumer Protection Division within the Michigan Attorney General's Office.

• Students with complaints that were unresolved at the university level, and who reside in a SARA (State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement) state may contact the Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO).
• Students in non-SARA states may contact the authority in their home state, which may be found on the website of the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association.

• Renewing Your Aid:
  See our FAQ and How to Apply pages for information.
• Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress:
  This is the term used to denote a student's successful completion of course work toward a degree. To receive funds administered by the UMMS Financial Aid Office, a student must be making measurable academic progress toward their degree program. 
• Disbursement of Your Aid Funds (method and frequency):
  Financial aid is disbursed (paid) to students in different ways depending on the type of aid and other factors.
• Terms of Student Loans, Including Necessity of Repayment.
• Terms/Conditions of Deferment or Cancellation of Perkins Loan, Direct Stafford, or FFEL Loan Because of Volunteer Service: Students may receive deferment or cancellation of loans for volunteer service such as Peace Corps, Armed Services, etc. Visit the Federal Student Aid website for more information.

The College Scholarship Fraud Prevention Act of 2000 was passed to protect against fraud in student financial aid by establishing stricter sentencing guidelines for criminal financial aid fraud. According to the Federal Trade Commission, perpetrators of financial aid fraud often use the following lines to sell their scholarship services; students should avoid any scholarship service or website that says the following:

• "This scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."
• "You can't get this information anywhere else."
• "I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."
• "We'll do all the work."
• "This scholarship will cost some money."
• "You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.

The U.S. Department of Education notes that there is no need for any student to pay for college preparation or financial aid advice. High school counselors, college financial aid administrators, and the Federal Student Aid Information Center all provide help for free. Visit the Federal Student Aid webpage on avoiding scams for lists of fraud warning signs and free sources of aid information.

If you believe you've been the victim of scholarship fraud, wish to file a complaint, or want more information, call 1-877-FTC-HELP or visit the Federal Trade Commission website.
