Stafford loans are processed every two semesters. It's important for you to keep record of your financial aid award and be aware of when the next semester application is due. The FA Office will do our best to notify you when it is time to apply, but do not depend on us alone. Check with our office if you are unsure of when to apply.

For students who had a Spring 2009/Fall 2009 loan (May through December) it is time to re-apply for the Winter 2010/Spring 2010 semesters (January through August). To do this you need to:

• Complete a 2009-2010 FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov
• Print complete and submit the Winter 2010 / Spring 2010 FA Certification Form 
• Please complete the Direct Loan Master Promissory Note
  (www.dlenote.ed.gov)
  

For those students who choose to remain with their current Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) Stafford Loan lender, please see a Financial Aid Advisor for the Certification Form.
