Action Memo
If you require research on your student account or need an adjustment made to reduce the amount of institutional, direct loan or private loan funds you are receiving, you may begin the process by submitting an Action Memo to Student Financial Services (SFS). To obtain this document, please click on the link above.
Credit Release Voucher
If you have a credit remaining on your account after all promissory notes and loan checks have been signed and posted to your account, you should submit a Credit Release Voucher (CRV) to our office. After approval by SFS, Student Accounting Services will process the CRV and issue a check for you within 11 to 15 business days.
Credit Advance
Since you may need funds immediately for living expenses we provide an interest free Credit Advance (CA) that enables a check to be issued in approximately three to five business days for a maximum of two month’s living expenses. You are eligible for a CA ONLY if you are officially registered and you have sufficient loans approved for disbursement to repay the advance. This interest-free short-term CA is charged to your student account.
Check Advance
A check advance is used for quickly funding a short-time emergency. This advance can be for up to $700 at a time, but a student is eligible for only two advances each semester. The student must apply for the advance in person at SFS. The student then goes to Student Accounting Services on the lower level at 881 Commonwealth Avenue, where they will receive a check.
Student Comment Register
The Student Comment Register was created to solicit your feedback regarding SFS service, as well as suggestions on how we might better meet your needs. You may obtain that form by clicking on the link above.
Prime Rate and Treasury Bill
When applying for a private loan, loan lenders use different types of financing components to determine what your interest rate will be. Some lenders use the Prime Rate as a basis, others use T-Bill rates. To make an informed decision, it is helpful to know historical trends of those rates, so we have included the links above to the Federal Reserve and The Department of Education for your reference.
Borrower Interest Rates
We have provided the link above to The U.S. Department of Education’s website if you would like information about borrower interest rates for federal education loans.
