The Loan Administration and Collections Office/Team currently handles Campus-Based Loan inquiries pertaining to students that have separated from UC San Diego. We work closely with the Financial Aid & Scholarships (FAS) Office to ensure that students do not overlook the initial set up of the repayment process. We do not handle awarding/packaging of the Campus-Based Loans. Should you have any questions pertaining to the current disbursements or refunds of Campus-Based Loans, please contact the FAS Office via email finaid@ucsd.edu or set up a Zoom Meeting with a Financial Aid Counselor.
