Financial aid information for parents and guardians
As a parents and guardians, we know you play a significant role
in your student's success at the university. The Office of Student Financial
Aid provides information and services to assist you and your student in
financing their education.
To get started, review our glossary of Financial Aid terms and explore how financial aid works.
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
The PLUS loan is available to parents
of dependent undergraduate students to assist in paying for educational costs.
Privacy rights
Our students’ privacy is very important to us. The
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 provides rights
primarily for the student once they enroll at an institution of higher
education. You can read more about FERPA on the Enrollment Services website.
