Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Amount of Loan. For loan applications received by the agency prior to September 1, 2023, the amount of loan shall not exceed the amount that the student needs in order to meet reasonable expenses as a student.

(b) Annual and Aggregate Loan Limit. For loan applications received by the agency prior to September 1, 2023, the maximum annual and aggregate loan amounts for any eligible student shall be determined from time to time by the Commissioner. In no case shall the maximum annual loan amount be greater than the annual cost of attendance for the student at the eligible institution.

(c) Aggregate Loan Limit. For loan applications received by the agency on or after September 1, 2023:

(1) The maximum aggregate loan amount for an eligible undergraduate student shall be limited to an amount of debt defined as "manageable debt" under the Board's Long-Range Master Plan for Higher Education. The maximum amount of student loan debt is based on a reasonable monthly student loan payment, taking into consideration the borrower's area of study, as outlined in Figure 1. The agency may not loan a borrower an amount of College Access Loans that would cause the borrower's aggregate educational loan debt, as reported on the borrower's credit report, to exceed the maximum amount outlined in Figure 1.

(2) The maximum aggregate loan amount for an eligible graduate or professional student is the sum of the student's annual limits.

(d) Annual Loan Limit. For loan applications received by the agency on or after September 1, 2023, in no case shall the maximum annual loan amount exceed the difference between the cost of attendance and the financial resources available to the applicant, including the applicant's scholarships, gifts, grants, and other financial aid. The student's maximum eligibility for Federal Direct Loans, except for Federal Plus loans, must be considered by the institution as other financial aid, whether or not the student actually receives such assistance.
