The Student Accounts Department determines fiscal clearance of students for each semester by reviewing the student account for total charges, financial aid and scholarships applied, and payments made, and determines if the remaining balance is covered by a payment plan. If this is the case, a student can be fiscally cleared. Students interested in reviewing their account should login to MyFMU at the following link: MyFMU.
