				  denials, along with a letter requesting an LLR loan. If the student has a prior
				  loan, one denial must be from the lender which made that loan. Upon receipt of
				  the above from the student, the corporation will send the student an LLR loan
				  application/promissory note.
(b)
				  The student must complete the borrower section of the LLR application, sign the
				  promissory note, retain the borrower copy of the LLR application/promissory
				  note and forward the lender, school and NYSHESC copies of the LLR
				  application/promissory note to the school.

				  school's copy, and return the lender and NYSHESC copies of the LLR loan
				  application/promissory note to the student.

				  NYSHESC copies of the LLR loan application/promissory note to the
				  corporation.
(e) Upon receipt of
				  the completed LLR application/promissory note, the corporation or the lender
				  will attempt to contact the student by telephone to complete pre-loan
				  counseling. If the corporation is unable to contact the student, a letter will
				  be sent advising the student that it is essential that he or she telephone the
				  corporation within 15 days from the date of the letter to complete pre-loan
				  counseling to avoid a delay in the processing of the LLR application. If no
				  response is received from the student within 20 days, a second request letter
				  will be sent.
(f) The corporation
				  will hold the LLR application/promissory note until the 60th day following the
				  expiration of the period of enrollment. If the student fails to respond by that
				  date, the corporation will cancel the LLR application/promissory note. If the
				  letter or letters are returned to the corporation as undeliverable, then the
				  corporation will not process the loan application.
(g) After pre-loan counseling is complete,
				  the student will be offered the opportunity to think about whether or not to
				  take out the loan. The corporation will not process the application unless and
				  until the student contacts the corporation to request processing of the
				  application.
(h) If the loan is
				  approved, the corporation will send the notice of loan guarantee and disclosure
				  statement to the student and will send to the lender the notice of guarantee
				  and the lender copy of the LLR application/promissory note.
(i) Loan proceeds approved by the lender may
				  be disbursed to the school either by check or by electronic funds
