While we cannot recommend or endorse a student loan provider, the University’s Financial Aid office has extensive resources to help you process the personal student loan of your choice. One of these resources is their FASTChoice web page, which is found at the following address: https://choice.fastproducts.org/FastChoice/home/367500/1.

This page can help you research options provided by many different federal and private lenders. Our certificate programs and classes typically do not qualify for federal loans. However, most of our programs will qualify for private loans issued by lenders who support non-credit programs.
