Studying Abroad

A student's enrollment in a program of study abroad approved for credit by UNO may be considered enrollment at UNO for the purpose of applying for financial aid assistance under the Title IV, HEA programs.

All students applying for financial aid and planning to apply for eligible grants, scholarships, or loans for the cost of their study abroad program should complete an Education Abroad Financial Support and Scholarships Form, which can be obtained from the Education Abroad Office. The student and Education Abroad Office will review the form and determine the amount of UNO or transferable credit hours that will be earned as part of the study abroad. You will need to return the completed form and any required documentation to the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships. The Office of Financial Support and Scholarships uses the Education Abroad form to determine if the student's cost of attendance can be increased and to ensure earned credit hours abroad can be counted as countable enrollment for financial aid purposes.

Alternative (Private) Student Loans

Alternative (private) student loans are loans used for educational related expenses for students attending an institution of higher education. They are often used to bridge gaps in financing between Federal Title IV financial aid offered and the cost of attendance.

If you are a dependent student or graduate student and need additional funding to meet college costs after your eligibility for federal grants and federal loans has been considered, it is important to consider the differences between Direct PLUS loans and alternative (private) student loans.

Terms and conditions of Title IV, HEA Program loans may be more favorable than the provisions of alternative (private) education loans.

The UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships does not require the completion of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) but strongly encourages students to complete a FAFSA in order to apply for and utilize eligibility in Federal and State financial assistance prior to applying for an alternative (private) loan.

Filing a FAFSA will determine your eligibility for grants (assistance that does not have to be repaid) and other need-based aid, such as Direct Subsidized Stafford loans (available to undergraduate students, interest is paid by the government while you are enrolled in school at least half-time and during deferment periods). Regardless of the demonstrated financial need on your FAFSA, you may be eligible for a Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan (interest accrues while you are attending school).

The alternative loan page on the UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships website helps students compare differences between Federal and Alternative (Private) student loans, items to consider when applying for an alternative loan, selecting a lender, a link to the required Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form, and processing steps after applying for an alternative loan.

Preferred Lender Arrangements

The UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships does not participate in preferred lender arrangements.

The UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships will work with any lender that participates in alternative (private) education loans. You may choose any alternative (private) education loan lender that you wish.

Students should contact prospective lenders with any questions during the application process. You may be required to submit documentation as part of the application process. As applicants of alternative (private) loans are subject to a credit check, the lender will let you know the outcome of the credit check, if a co-signer is necessary in order to approve the application, as well as inform you of any required documentation that needs to be submitted.

The alternative loan page on the UNO Office of Financial Support and Scholarships website helps students compare differences between Federal and Alternative (Private) student loans, items to consider when applying for an alternative loan, selecting a lender, a link to the required Applicant Self-Certification form, and processing steps after applying for an alternative loan.

Self-Certification Form (Alternative Loans)

If you apply for an alternative (private) student loan, as part of the application process you must submit the Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form to your lender. The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) added section 128(e)(3) to the Truth In Lending Act to require that before a private educational lender may consummate a private education loan for a student in attendance at an institution of higher education, the private education lender must obtain the completed and signed Self-Certification Form from the applicant.

Upon request, the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships will assist you in completing Section 2 of the Self-Certification Form. This section requests information about your cost of attendance (COA), any estimated financial assistance (EFA) for the period of enrollment covered by the loan, and the difference between the COA and EFA.

For more information about the Self-Certification Form, contact your prospective lender or the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships.

First-time borrowers of Federal Direct Stafford loans and Federal Graduate PLUS loans must complete Loan Entrance Counseling. UNO utilizes the U.S. Department of Education's Entrance Counseling online on StudentAid.gov to fulfill entrance counseling requirements.

Entrance counseling is a one-time requirement that must be completed prior to a Federal Direct Stafford loan or Federal Graduate PLUS loan can be disbursed. Entrance counseling takes about 30 minutes to complete and must be completed in one session.

During entrance counseling, you will learn about what a Direct Loan is and how the loan process works, managing your education expenses, other financial resources to consider to help pay for your education, and your rights and responsibilities as a borrower.

PLUS Credit Counseling

Borrowers of Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans and Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans are subject to a credit check of adverse credit history by the U.S. Department of Education.

If a borrower is found to have an adverse credit history, the borrower may still borrow a PLUS loan if an endorser is obtained who does not have an adverse credit history and meets other eligibility requirements. Borrowers may also be able to appeal the adverse credit decision with the U.S. Department of Education.

If a borrower successfully obtains an endorser or appeals the adverse credit history decision and wants to borrow a PLUS loan, PLUS Credit Counseling must be completed in order for the Federal Direct PLUS loan to be eligible for disbursement. PLUS Credit Counseling is an online information session for PLUS borrowers. Once the PLUS Credit Counseling session is completed, applicants will be provided a financial summary that includes loan balances, income expenses, and repayment plan details based on information provided during the counseling session. Note that PLUS Credit Counseling is only required for applicants found to have an adverse credit history who have obtained an endorser or appealed their adverse credit decision; it is optional for borrowers initially found not to have an adverse credit history. PLUS Credit Counseling must be completed on StudentAid.gov.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

UNO Procedures Concerning Student Records/Safeguarding Consumer Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford eligible students certain rights with respect to their educational records.

UNO offers an online training session designed to prepare authorized users of the campus community to fully understand the responsibilities of handling student record information under FERPA, and the university's student records policy.

In order to release information and discuss items such as academics, financial aid, personal information, student accounts, and student records to parents and family members, there is an electronic process that must be completed to authorize access.

HIPAA and FERPA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) applies to health care providers, private benefit plans, and health care clearinghouses. It does not apply to other types of organizations whose receipt or maintenance of health records is incidental to the normal course of business. FERPA does not limit what records a school may obtain, create, or maintain. It provides safeguards for education records.

The Accessibility Services Center (ASC) normally obtains and maintains health records for each student who applies for services or waivers. If a health record is used to make a decision in regard to a student's education program, the health record may be construed to be an education record. In that case, the normal FERPA provisions for safeguarding the record would apply.

The Accessibility Services Center (ASC)'s handbook provides information about the confidentiality and the release of information and retains student records in compliance with HIPAA and FERPA.

Health Services is considered a Health Care Provider and provides information about HIPAA on its website.
