  • It could be that we have not received the Graduate Nomination Form from your academic department. You can follow-up with your academic department.
  • Why isn’t my private loan appearing on my bill?
  • It generally takes 7 – 10 business days to process a loan certification.
  • There are times that we cannot process the loan because a FAFSA is required; or, the student is not meeting the minimum enrollment requirement. The Office of Financial Aid will be in contact with such students.
  • Why doesn’t my private appear as “authorized” aid on my bill?
  • Once the disbursement records are received, which is generally in late August then he loan will be authorized. In the meantime, the loan will “memo” on the account which is enough for Bursar so that no late fees are charged.
