Private Student Loan Guidelines

Arrangements for any private educational loan must be made prior to enrollment. It usually takes 3-5 business days for University Extension Finance at CSUF to complete certification of the loan after the student has submitted the request. Loan certification is not guaranteed, and terms and conditions must be accepted by University Extension.

Steps:

  1. Apply for a private educational loan with a lender of your choice. Your own commercial bank and/or credit union may offer these types of loans.

  2. Students will need to notify CSUF University Extension of their approved private educational loan. Please call CSUF University Extension Finance at (657) 278-2232 or email EIPfinance@fullerton.edu to notify them of the loan application.

  3. University Extension will certify the student’s loan with the lender. Please note that University Extension is only able to certify the loan relating to the total estimated cost of the course(s) and student fees.

  4. Funds are disbursed after the course(s) starts in the term you are enrolled. Funds are disbursed to CSUF on your scheduled disbursement dates. Loan amounts will be applied to all institutional charges, and any remaining balance would be refunded to you. Please note it takes 7-10 business days after the disbursement date for funds to be applied to your account.

  5. Any unpaid balance owed after the loan funds are disbursed will be due immediately, to be paid directly by the student.
