Loan Cancellation/Reduction Request

I understand that I have the right to cancel or reduce my federal student loan(s). I wish to exercise this right as noted below.

Only the borrower of the loan may request a change on the Loan Cancellation/Reduction Request form. For example, a parent may not adjust a Federal Stafford Loan because the student is the borrower. If you have a private loan that you would like to reduce or cancel, please contact our office directly.
Request 1

Mark each section. Only one loan per request. See Request 2 below for additional loans.

For the period:

Loan Type



Please:



* Canceling the first disbursement of a loan will automatically cancel the second disbursement.
** Unsubsidized loans will be adjusted before any changes are made to subsidized loans.

Request 2

Mark each section. Only one loan per request.

For the period:

Loan Type



Please:


* Canceling the first disbursement of a loan will automatically cancel the second disbursement.
** Unsubsidized loans will be adjusted before any changes are made to subsidized loans.

Important Information
  • This request must be completed no later than the due date noted on your bursar account statement showing the loan credit.
  • If this cancellation/reduction leaves an unpaid balance on your bursar account, you must pay that balance with personal funds to avoid late payment fees and other institutional penalties.
  • The Office of Student Financial Assistance may adjust a subsequent loan disbursement if the first disbursement has already credited to your account.
  • The Office of the Bursar may adjust the amount to be reduced or cancelled if all or part of your loan has been refunded. You may be asked to return all or part of a refund check.
