USA Student Loans
Instruction
- There are no short cuts to loan origination: all students must complete the steps listed in .
- The steps you will need to take are quick and easy but the ºÚÁÏÉç will not know if you have completed all the processes for all the loans you intend to borrow unless you tell us. Also, the ºÚÁÏÉç will not know how much you wish to borrow until you tell us.
- We understand you are advised that ºÚÁÏÉç have access to your loan documents directly from FAFSA. However Federal Student Aid has classified ºÚÁÏÉç as a foreign school and therefore will not have access to download your documents from FAFSA!
- We want to be sure that you have completed everything you have to do before we start to process your loan application because if the School starts origination of loans (process your loan application) and your loan application is incomplete or information is missing then your loan origination will fail and this will delay your access to federal financial assistance.
- The ºÚÁÏÉç online loan application process () will enable you to upload your documents and track the progress of your loan application. You will be able to see what remains to be submitted, and what the status is of your loan.
- You can begin the process of preparing your FAFSA application here
- Please do not submit documents by email unless specifically instructed.
