Frequently Asked Questions

If I graduate in December, will this affect my loans?
  • The Department of Education requires schools to monitor your academic status and graduation date. Schools must pro-rate the amount of student loan(s) for your remaining period of study if it is less than an academic year in length.
  • If your status changes from what you indicated it would be when you applied for aid, you must notify the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible in writing at btcfinaid@blackhawk.edu.
