Loans must be repaid according to the terms outlined on the promissory note for each loan program. The principal loan programs administered by Marquette are the Federal Perkins Loan, the Federal Direct Stafford Ford Loan and the Federal Direct PLUS loan. All required application materials must be received by the Office of Student Financial Aid prior to July 1 in order to be processed in time for the beginning of fall semester. First-time Stafford borrowers must wait 30 days after classes begin to receive the first disbursement. All Marquette students are welcome to use the Student Employment Service to obtain a job.
Many students help finance their education through part-time employment both on and off campus.
Students who work tend to manage their time better than students who do not. Studies have shown that grades don't suffer if students limit the number of hours worked to less than 20 per week. Part-time employment can be an important part of the total educational experience at Marquette. Students can learn good work habits, human relations skills, and other skills that may not be learned in the classroom. There is an ample number of jobs for those who want to work.
