• SCC certifies private student loans for fall, spring, and/or summer semesters, one academic year at a time.
• Before 49图库 Community College will begin the certification process on a private loan, students are required to:
  • Have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, on file with the SCC Financial Aid Office for the current school year
  • Be enrolled in classes in a degree seeking program during the loan period
  • Have a 2.0 cumulative GPA if previously enrolled at SCC
  • Have official transcripts (high school and college) on file with SCC Admissions
• SCC Financial Aid will activate a student鈥檚 loan funds no earlier than eight business days after the lender has scheduled the disbursement to allow for expiration of the borrower鈥檚 Right-to-Cancel period.  Therefore, students are cautioned to allow enough time for a loan to be processed so it will be in place to cover tuition charges by the payment due date prior to each semester.
• Once the lender disburses the loan proceeds to the school, the funds are applied first to any existing balance due and then a refund check will be issued to the student for any remaining amount. Refund checks will not be processed until 10% of the semester has elapsed and instructors have turned in rosters verifying student attendance generally resulting in refund checks being mailed at the earliest during the 6th week of the semester.
• A student鈥檚 academic progress will be checked at the end of each semester to confirm a 2.0 cumulative GPA before activating loan funds for the next semester.
• Pursuant to Section 155 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) and to satisfy the requirements of Section 128(e)(3) of the Truth in Lending Act, a lender must obtain a self-certification signed by the applicant before disbursing a private education loan. The school is required on request to provide this form or the required information only for students admitted or enrolled at the school. Throughout the Applicant Self-Certification, 鈥測ou鈥� and 鈥測our鈥� refer to the applicant who is applying for the loan. The applicant and the student may be the same person.
