Mid-Year Grade Level Change
Annual loan limits are based on a student's year in school. Once a student moves from a 1st year to a 2nd year, they may be eligible for up to an additional $1,000 in federal loans. The same goes for a 2nd year moving to a 3rd year student. If, after the end of the fall term, you believe you have earned enough credits to progress to a new grade level and annual loan limit and would like to request additional loan funds, please contact the student loan coordinator in the financial aid office. The student loan coordinator will review your credits to determine if you are eligible for additional federal loan funds. 

* Origination fees change annually on October 1st. For loans originated prior to 10/1/20 loan fee is 1.059%
