Loans & Financing Options

Some things to remember about loans:

  • Loans will show on your bursar bill as a pending credit until you complete the steps to accept them (sign Promissory Note/Entrance Counseling) or deny them (notify our office in writing)
  • Disbursements are split between fall and spring semesters
  • Disbursement date is usually 10 days before classes begin each semester
  • Don’t forget to sign your Master Promissory Note and complete an Entrance Counseling session
