(ii) have entered into agreement(s) for a loan
under section 22 of the Act before I reached the
age of 18 years,
I am agreeing to “ratify” any and all such student
loans by signing these terms. This means that I
confirm I entered into agreement(s) with the Lender
and agree to the terms of any such previous
