Student Loans

Student loans can be a critical part of an education financing plan. Loans are a great resource when used conservatively and wisely. Carefully consider whether borrowing is really needed and borrow as little as necessary. 

You can accept all or a portion of your loan at any time during the academic year, although it is important to note that May 17, 2024, is the last day to accept an offered federal and/or institutional loan for 2023-24.
 

Before You Borrow

It is important that you fully understand the type of loan(s) that you are borrowing. During the course of your years at school, you may borrow a combination of different types of loans that may require separate, simultaneous loan payments to different lenders upon graduation or leaving the university.
