Private Education Loan DisclosuresÌý

As well as Federal loans, there are student loans provided by a private, non-federal lenders. There are many US private lenders but very few will lend to students studying outside the US. The University does not recommend any specific private lender, however as far as we are aware there is only one private lender that makes loans available to US citizens receiving their degree at a foreign school. To get more information about The GEMS Smart Option Loan by Sallie Mae you can visit their pageÌýhere:

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has no affiliation with and receives no financial incentives from Sallie Mae or any other private lender.Ìý

The lending terms for Title IV federal loans may be preferable to private loans. See theÌýfor a guide.

Our role in the private loans process is to confirm your Cost of Attendance and certify your enrolment.

Note that private student loans are still limited to your Cost of Attendance similar to Direct Loans (see 'Costs' tab for an idea of how much we are prepared to certify). You are allowed to hold both types of loans but the total cannot exceed your Cost of Attendance.

Self-Certification Form

Upon request, the university will provide in written or electronic form the self-certification form for private education loans to enrolled or admitted student applicants for a private education loan. We can provide information required to complete the form to the extent that we possess the information. This form is developed by the US Department of Education.
