loans pay the full amount of tuition/fees only and cannot be used to pay
housing or other university charges (including UPD traffic tickets). Students
do not receive a check with this loan - a credit is made to offset tuition/fee
charges. Tuition loans can cover course fees as well, but not late
registration fees. Applications for Tuition Loans must be
submitted by 12th class day for Fall/Spring terms and 4th class day for
Summer terms.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'>

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'>Emergency
loan proceeds are in the form of a check to the student and are intended to pay
educational expenses (books, supplies, etc). Loans are generally limited
to a maximum of $400 during fall/spring terms ($200 during summer and mini
terms). Generally emergency loan checks are available the day following
application (usually after 3 PM); however, during high volume periods such as
the start of a semester, it may take 2-3 working days. <b><span
