Request a New Loan

Students use this page to submit a loan request to the Financial Aid Office. After the Loan request has been submitted, the student cannot submit another loan request for that year until the FAO has processed the pending request. Students complete three steps to request a new loan:

1. Enter a new loan amount, or select an amount that is pre-calculated based on the student’s current financial aid package and remaining need.
2. Select award periods.
3. Review and submit the loan request.

After completing those three steps, students will see a confirmation page. When students make requests, they can also enter comments on the first page of Request a New Loan.
