You may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other aid received. If your COA equals the amount of aid on your financial aid award letter, then you cannot borrow an additional loan. If your COA is larger than the amount of aid on your financial aid award letter, then you can borrow the amount of the difference. The Office of Financial Aid is happy to help you determine what is left in your COA and help you determine what you need to borrow.
