As an institution of continuing education, the Graduate School is not eligible under the provisions of federal student loan program. However, on a case by case basis, some educational and financial institutions make exceptions based on your area of study. In these cases, you are usually required to pursue a certificate that will result in employment skills that are immediately marketable. You are advised to check with the institution prior to registering for a Graduate School course.
