Please visit, call, or e-mail the financial aid office ([email protected])
information regarding your housing status for the 2012/2013 academic year if an
update is needed. The estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) for federal student
loan eligibility is based on whether you are a commuter (living at home with
parents), living in campus housing, or residing in off-campus housing. If you plan
to reside off-campus, you will be required to provide the financial aid office with a
copy of your current lease or mortgage statement. Your financial aid offer is based
on the 2012/2013 FAFSA.

Direct Federal Stafford Loans
 The federal maximum for graduate students is $20,500 per academic year. This
amount will be divided between the Fall, and Spring semesters. Beginning July 1, 2012
only the unsubsidized Stafford loan will be available for Graduate Students. The
subsidized loan option has been eliminated. The unsubsidized Stafford Loan interest
rate is 6.8%. The GradPlus student loan interest rate is 7.9%.
 If you had loans for prior years, you can obtain a Verification of Enrollment from
the Registrar’s Office once you confirm your attendance.
 You can request the verification at www.camden.registrar.rutgers.edu . This will keep
your loans in an in-school deferment.

GradPlus and Private Loans
 If you require funding over and above the $20,500 allowed to you under the Direct
Federal Stafford Loan Program, you can apply for a GradPlus loan or review a list of
private loans posted on our web site.
 You can also access the Federal Graduate PLUS loan from our site or directly at
www.studentloans.gov.
 The GradPlus website is also included on your electronic award notice.
 The additional amount you can borrow is based on your cost of attendance minus
other financial assistance.

 As soon as your account has a credit balance, the Office of Student Accounting will
create your refund.
 You have the option to pick up your refund, have it mailed to you, or sign up for
Direct Deposit. Direct Deposit will get you a quicker refund.

Students should plan ahead for the purchase of books, supplies,
and other expenses as refund checks often are not available
immediately at the start of the term.
