Loan Eligibility Calculator

Student Federal Direct Loan Eligibility Calculator:

Beginning July 1, 2026, colleges are required to prorate Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan eligibility for students who are enrolled less than full-time (12 credits) per semester.

Using this calculator, enter the number of credits you plan to take for the upcoming Fall and/or Spring semesters, as well as your dependency status and class, to determine the maximum amount you can request to borrow in each semester.

Calculate how much you can request:

If you are taking more than 12 credits, select 12.
If you are taking less than six credits, select 0.
