  14. Loan Processing • Federal Direct Stafford Loan * No need to e-sign a new Direct MPN if borrowed this year * Unless you tell us differently, we will certify for the maximum amount eligible • Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan* No need to e-sign new Direct Grad PLUS MPN if borrowed this year; HOWEVER…Note that for Grad PLUS for 2014 summer and then again for the 2014-2015 academic year a credit check is performed by DOE. • Non-federal Private LoanIf borrowing non-federal, private student loan funds, then must complete lender’s loan application process (preferred private lenders offer an on-line application process). You need to complete separate private loan applications for the 2014 summer and for the 2014-2015 academic year. All non-federal, private loans are credit based.

  15. Billing of Tuition & Fees • You are billed tuition for every credit hour enrolled. • Practicum is billed at $50 tuition per semester. • Tuition and fees are billed at the start of the summer semester.

  16. Example #1 Revisited Financial Aid Budget for the 2014 Summer Semester: assumptions: * enrolled for 6 credit hours * enrolled for 4 weeks * not residing with parents Tuition & fees: $ 6,754 Room & Board: $ 1,424 Books: $ 300 Transportation: $ 312 Miscellaneous: $ 164 TOTAL: $ 8,954

  17. Example #1 Revisited Financial Aid Award for the 2014 Summer Semester: (based on prior cost of attendance = $8,954) Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan: $ 8,954 TOTAL: $ 8,954 Thus, total financial aid award = total cost of attendance.

  18. Disbursements of Aid • Loan period for the 2014 spring semester: 05/19/14 to 08/7/14 • Federal regulations allow for a single disbursement of Stafford loan funds during a loan period, all at the start of enrollment. • Federal Direct loans disburse loan funds via electronic fund transfer (EFT) to Tulane. • All eligibility criteria must be satisfied prior to disbursement of aid.

  19. With all aid arriving at start of the semester: Tuition & fees $ 6,754 - Unsubsidized Stafford $ 8,954 = A/R balance ($2,200) + Refund $ 2,200 = A/R balance $ 0 Refunds

  20. Refunds Sign up for “direct deposit” for refunds http://pandora.tcs.tulane.edu/acctrec/

  21. Reconsiderations • SUMMER IS A SHORT SEMESTER… so decide on summer schedule before submitting Summer Addendum! • If drop credit hours, can impact tuition costs as well as number of weeks of living expenses! • If add credit hours will process additional aid after priority processing is complete. • Receive any other financial assistance: departmental grant outside scholarship • DEADLINE is JUNE 13, 2014!!
