Is there additional interest or fees charged?
No. The Short-Term Loan is an advance against the amount of financial assistance that is expected to disburse for the term. Your accepted financial assistance will be reviewed by the Office of Student Services prior to an application decision.
How do I repay the short-term loan?
The Spurgeon Bell Loan will be applied to your term charges and auto-repayment will be made using your financial assistance disbursement.
Note: If the 60 day deadline is approaching and your financial aid has not disbursed, then you may make a payment out of pocket to avoid being late.
What happens if repayment is made after 60 days?
If you are late on your Short-Term Loan repayment then a financial hold will be placed on your student account.
This hold will affect the following:
- Registration
- Transcript
- Graduation
- Viewing Grades
- Exams
Two late repayments will result in an auto-denial of future Spurgeon Bell applications.
