Although California College of the Arts may have determined that you and, if applicable, your parent(s) are eligible to borrow a Perkins, Direct Loans, or PLUS loan, you are under no obligation to accept any loan.

Declining a loan will neither jeopardize other financial aid offered to you nor will it prevent you or your parent(s) from borrowing later in the term or in the future.

An educational loan is a serious financial obligation and must be repaid.

Defaulting on any loan will seriously damage your credit rating. Complete information on educational loan repayment is available within the Financial Aid Office.
