Parent PLUS Loan

Please note:

The undergraduate student MUST have a current FAFSA on file with our office before we will certify a Parent PLUS Loan.

Undergraduate PLUS Loan Information

The parents of dependent undergraduate students may borrow funds through a PLUS loan. To receive a PLUS loan, they will be required to pass a credit check. If they do not pass the credit check, they still may be able to receive a loan if someone, such as a relative or friend who is able to pass, agrees to co-sign the loan, promising to repay it if the parents should fail to do so.
