Short-term emergency loans

Student fee supported loan

The SELFund (Student Emergency Loan Fund) is a temporary, short-term emergency loan that must be paid back in full within 120 days (approximately 4 months). If a complete application is received by 2:00 p.m. on any day office hours are held, a decision will be made by the next day office hours are held.

  • Loans range from $100–$600
  • 8 percent interest per year, compounded daily
  • $10 in fees ($5 is a non-refundable application fee)
  • A total of $900 is available per student per calendar year
  • One application may be submitted per semester
  • A plan of scheduled payments may be required by SELFund

If your loan is not repaid within the 120-day timeframe, your student account will be placed on hold, preventing your access to future registration, diplomas, and transcripts. The program is supported by student fees charged on your student account each term. To qualify for a SELFund you must prove your need; be currently enrolled; and be credit worthy.
