2019-2020 Federal Direct Loan Authorization Form

Your Award Letter outlines your eligibility for the Federal Direct Loan Program (Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized). If you wish to borrow under the Direct Loan Program, please complete this form and click Submit at the bottom of this page.

  • Step 1 - Demographic Information

  • Step 2 - Loan Amount Request

    Review your NCC bill and your Award Letter to decide how much to borrow for the 2019-2020 Year. Your initial Award Letter indicates the maximum amount of loan eligibility, but you may not need to borrow the maximum.

    Note: Indicate below the amount you wish to borrow for the FULL YEAR which begins with the fall semester and ends after spring or summer.
  • If a Federal Subsidized Direct Loan is on your Award Letter, how much do you wish to borrow for the FULL YEAR? Disbursements will be equally divided among all terms of enrollment.
    If I do not qualify for the Federal Subsidized Direct Loan requested above due to my enrollment level or additional aid received, I authorize NCC to process a Federal Unsubsidized Loan for the same amount.
  • If a Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan is on your Award Letter, how much do you wish to borrow for the FULL YEAR? Disbursements will be equally divided among all terms of enrollment.

    I understand that if I borrow an Unsubsidized Loan, interest on that loan will begin to accrue on the day the Department of Education first disburses the loan and the interest will be capitalized, greatly increasing the amount of my loan.

    To prevent the capitalized interest from increasing my total loan debt, I understand that I may pay the interest on the Unsubsidized Loan while in school. I know I need to contact my loan servicer to pay the interest.
  • Step 3 - Other Assistance

    Please indicate below if you will be receiving the following types of assistance for your educational costs for the 2019-2020 school year:
  • Any scholarships, tuition reimb., etc. Do NOT list any aid already reported on your Award Letter
  • Amount of "other" source
  • Any scholarships, tuition reimb., etc. Do NOT list any aid already reported on your Award Letter
  • Amount of "other" source
  • Step 4 - Graduation

  • Step 5 - Your Rights and Responsibilities Regarding your Federal Student Loan

    I understand I must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours) each term I plan to receive loan proceeds.

    I understand that federal regulations may require multiple disbursements of all loan funds.

    I understand that all loan funds will first be credited to my student account.

    I understand that the loans may be reduced or adjusted if other award amounts change or if additional awards are added (scholarships, grants, sponsorships, etc.).

    I understand that if this is the first loan I am borrowing at NCC, I am required to complete Loan Entrance Counseling and a Loan Agreement (Master Promissory Note). If I fail to do so, my loan will be cancelled, the funds will be returned to the lender, and the loan funds will not be available to pay my bill at NCC.

    I understand that I may lose financial aid eligibility if I am not attending classes.

    I understand that if I am not maintaining satisfactory academic progress my future loans will be cancelled.

    I understand that when requesting a Direct Loan, the loan information will be submitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and schools determined to be authorized users of the data system.

    I understand that an origination fee (1-2%) will be deducted from each disbursement.

    I will promptly inform my Direct Loan Servicer and NCC when I graduate, withdraw from school, enroll in less than 6 credits per semester or change my name and/or address.

    I understand that I must complete a mandatory Loan Exit Counseling session after I graduate, transfer, withdraw or drop to less than half-time status.

    I understand I must begin repaying the loan six months after I graduate, withdraw or drop below half-time (6 credits).
