Requesting to receive all of your Direct Sub/Unsub/Additional Unsub Loan funds in the Fall semester will leave you with zero Direct Sub/Unsub/Additional Unsub eligibility for the Spring.
Also, if you are requesting all of your Direct Sub funds for one semester, the Subsidized Direct Loan amount for which you are eligible to borrow may change based on our having to prorate the loan, per federal regulations.
To request a complete loan cancellation, enter a zero in the Desired Amount box for the appropriate term(s).
Make sure that the amount listed in the Fall column plus the amount listed in the Spring column equals the amount listed in the Loan Total column.
