<p>I am a bit confused about the process with respect to unsubsidized loans. If I select/accept/commit to the amount shown in the financial aid status -- am I obligated to seek a loan for the full amount?</p>
<p>I am not sure if we will borrow any, but I do not want to miss the opportunity should it become necessary.</p>
<p>TIA</p>
<p>Here’s the procedure:</p>
<p>sign into blackboard
click on secure apps
at secure apps menu, click on Financial Aid Student Toolkit
click on the fall/spring award tab
(this will list all your financial aid, scholarships, grants, loans, etc)</p>
<p>If you’ve been awarded a subsidized or unsubsidized loans it will be listed. If you continue to the right, there will be a column headed “Amount Accepted”. You can indicate what amount of the loan you would like to receive. Once you make your decision, click on save changes.</p>
<p>Financial aid can advise you as to the deadline for accepting or declining and for how much.</p>
