NOTE: Effective July 1, 2013, first-time* Direct Loan borrowers are limited in the amount of time they can receive Direct Subsidized Loans. Borrowers may receive Direct Subsidized Loans for no more than 150% of the length of the student’s current academic program (ex. 6 years for a 4-year program). Once a student has reached 150% time limit, they will not be eligible for any further subsidized loans. If they continue to enroll, they will lose the interest subsidy on the subsidized loans they borrowed in the past. Students who have reached the 150% limit will remain eligible for Direct Unsubsidized Loans. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information.
