- Your lender will contact you directly if additional information is needed
- PLUS and Alternative Loans are credit based and will require a credit worthy cosigner if your credit is denied
- Loan processing may take up to two weeks or longer if your lender or the Department of Education do not have a completed promissory note on file
- Be prepared to pay your first month’s rent and first month’s school expenses out-of-pocket
- All students should come prepared with cash or a credit card to purchase their books even if they have financial assistance to cover the cost. Refund checks are not typically available until after the add/drop period for those students that qualify
