The total amount of loan funds I am requesting is $ . I understand if I select more than one semester to disburse
these funds my loan will be split evenly among the semesters I choose.
I am requesting my loan(s) be applied to the following semesters (check one):
_ _I am graduating fall 2020 _ all 2020/Spring 2021 _ _Fall 2020/Spring 2021/Summer 2021 _ Summer 2021
I, the student, agree with and have read and fully understand each statement provided in the certification request packet as
well as in Entrance Counseling and the Master Promissory Note.
I understand that if I am a first time borrower I must sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete the online Entrance
Counseling session at https://studentaid.gov/.
I understand if I do not complete these steps I cannot receive a loan until I do.
The school code to use is 009910.
I am aware that I must be enrolled in at least six credit hours and all of those hours MUST be required for graduation
in my current program of study and not repeated more than once (repeats occur after a student has earned a D or higher)

I understand any time prior to disbursement to my account I may cancel, my certification request, and I will be responsible
for any charges outstanding due to the cancellation.
