Short-Term, Emergency, and Assistant Loans
If you are experiencing a temporary shortage of funds, the Financial Aid Office administers the UC Davis Short-Term, Emergency, and Assistant Loan Program for all students. These loans are available only to regularly enrolled UC Davis students or new students who have enrolled in classes. The funds may be used for educational purposes only. If you plan to use a job for a source of repayment, a Job Verification Form will be required. The application and Job Verification Form are available on this page.
To apply, read and complete the application before the loan application review. Applications are reviewed 8:30 - 9:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, 1100 Dutton Hall. The application procedures vary slightly during the registration cycle of each quarter, check announcements on the Financial Aid Web site for news about application times.
What You Will Need To Apply
- Identification:
- A UC Davis photo identification.
- A valid California I.D. or Driver's License.
Document Your Source of Repayment:
If your source of repayment is:
- Your Parents: you must obtain a signed statement from your parents with their contact information (to be explained during your appointment).
- A Job: bring a completed Job Verification Form with you. Job verification forms are available on the undergraduate financial aid forms page or at the Financial Aid Office.
- VA Benefits: bring a letter of verification from the Veteran's Affairs Office.
- Financial Aid: if your financial aid package is incomplete, bring in your Student Aid Report (SAR). If we cannot determine your eligibility from the SAR, a Financial Aid Officer may need to approve your loan application.
- Bring receipts for any payment made on a STL or ESL within the last week.
- If you have made any late payments on a STL or ESL, you are not eligible. The STL program must wait three weeks for a personal check to clear (for payment of your last loan) before a new loan may be processed.
