Click for important updates!

Taking out loans?

  • Starting with the 2026-27 academic year, recent federal law (OBBBA) will impact borrower’s aggregate loan amount to borrow, annual limit to borrow, ability to borrow PLUS and amount to disburse. Check out our Loan Changes page for more information.

Part-time Loan borrower? 

If you are not currently enrolled full-time, your posted student loan amounts will be paid in full until new regulations are implemented in our system. Therefore, be aware that refunds will be adjusted down according to current enrollment. Full-time enrollment is defined as the following: 

  • MDiv-9 credits 
  • Graduate-8 credits 
  • Undergraduate-12 credits 
 
For example; an Undergraduate student taking 6 credits will receive half of their offered student loan amount in refunds. 
 
This does not apply to Parent PLUS loans. 
 
More information regarding all loan changes is available on the SFS website.
