The loans described in this section are available only to students and to parents of dependent undergraduate students. The loans must be repaid, typically after the student graduates or ceases to be enrolled at least half time (6 credits as an undergraduate student; 3 credits as a graduate student).
The financial aid award letter generally lists the maximum amount the student may borrow for the academic year.
- To accept or reject Direct Loans, or Nursing loans, students log on to mySeattleU and then Financial Aid Self Service Portal to see the checklist to view award and accept/reject loans.
- To request a reduced amount of any of these loans, students should email Student Financial Services from their SU email address, specifying the amount to which they want their loans reduced, and which academic year or term the change is requested for.
- Revised loan amounts are distributed equally across all quarters for which students are expected to enroll.
- When a student's requested revision is complete, a notification that a revised award letter is available at mySeattleU is sent to the student's SU email address.
