– Deadlines Extended –

Due to the delay in FAFSA data being supplied to the University of Oregon, the UO is extending the confirmation deadline to June 1, 2024, for first-year students admitted for fall 2024. We are also extending the priority FAFSA filing deadline to April 1, 2024, for all UO students.

Alternative Student Loans

Alternative student loans are funded by private lenders and are not based on need. Important facts about alternative loans to keep in mind include:

  • The amount borrowed cannot exceed your cost of attendance minus other financial aid.
  • These loans are primarily used to supplement the federal programs when federal aid and scholarships do not meet the cost of attendance.
  • Alternative loans are based on a student’s credit history and often require a cosigner.
  • These loans cannot be certified across academic years (summer is the last term of any academic year at the UO).
