Loan Protection

The annual maximum loan amount an undergraduate student may receive must be prorated (reduced) when the borrower is: 

· Enrolled in a program that is shorter than a full academic year; or 
· Enrolled in a program that is one academic year or more in length but is in a remaining period of study (a period of study at the end of which   a student will have completed all requirements of the program) that is shorter than a full academic year.
