Students with Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Due to recent Congressional action, you may have the opportunity to consolidate your Direct Stafford Loans at a lower interest rate. This opportunity is time-sensitive, as the application for consolidation must be filed by January 31, 1999. The Student Loan department urges all students to research this opportunity. Information is available on the Web at: http://www.ed.gov/Direct Loan. The application can also be downloaded from this site. All questions about this opportunity should be directed to the U.S. Department of Education at (800) 557-7392.
Extensions/Incompletes Faculty legislation stipulates that "an instructor may report a student's work as incomplete only if the student has been given an excuse by the director of the Health Center or the dean of the College because of an emergency." This means that instructors may not accept exams, or papers due in lieu of exams, after noon on Tuesday, December 22, unless authorized by the director of the Health Center for medical reasons, or one of the academic deans in the dean of the College's office for unforeseen emergencies. All other course work must be turned in by the last day of classes. The deadline for students to request authorization for an extension because of incomplete work is Tuesday, December 22, at noon.
