Email from Ryan Crews

Good Evening Everyone,

With spring 2023 tuition and fee assessment beginning today and eBills set to go out December 5^th, you may begin getting questions from students about the Tigers SmartStart program as they see the fees on their UofM accounts.

It is expected that students will receive an email with more program details on December 6^th including opt out dates. Students who decide to opt out of the program for the spring will be able to do so beginning December 18^th.

I wanted to share the FAQ link below and encourage you all to familiarize yourself with this info so you can help guide students through this new program that we expect will provide them significant cost savings and other benefits.
