Federal Loan Adjustments
In some cases, the amount of Federal Stafford Loan eligibility may change when a student does not register for the number of credits originally indicated on the FAFSA. This may in some cases result in a balance due for the semester.
Check MyUAlbany for details regarding your financial aid and student account.
