Michigan Achievement Scholarship - Quarter 4 Special Process Instructions
If a student’s final semester to initiate the Michigan Achievement Scholarship is in a ‘Ready to Pay’ status, that payment must be moved to ‘Paid’ before any subsequent semesters can be certified.
If the ‘Ready to Pay’ status for the initiation semester is not updated to ‘Paid’ during Quarters 1–3, a special process may be required in Quarter 4. MiSSG does not allow certification for semesters beyond the initiation period unless the initial payment has been processed. This issue typically affects students who submit their FAFSA, complete verification, or transfer their MiSSG record late in the academic year.
To request certification for subsequent semesters in these cases, please follow the steps below.
- Complete the certification for the available semester(s) the system will allow within the ‘Must Certify Prior Terms’ rule.
- Send an email to the Program Coordinator (laycocks@michigan.gov) requesting the additional certifications. The following must be included for an override to be performed:
- Student Name and MiSSG ID (DOB and SSN are not accepted)
- Semester(s) certification needs to occur
- Amount of award to be certified (Separated into Minimum/Last-Dollar or Bonus/Last-Dollar)
- Number of Credit Hours and Contact Hours (if in excess of Credit Hours)
- Any reduced award reason applicable
- The Program Coordinator will process the student in MiSSG and notify the requestor via email.
- The Requestor then must verify the certification in MiSSG is correct and add a comment in the student's MiSSG profile reflecting that, as well as responding to the notification email.
- Any changes to the student’s certification during Quarter 4 will need to be done through the Program Coordinator.
