We realize that financial aid emergencies usually arise at the worst possible moments, and that they can cause great complications and stress for our law students.
The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law Emergency Loan Program is designed to assist students who are in dire need of temporary financial assistance and who have no alternative recourse. The program allows students to apply for an interest-free loan of up to $500 from the College of Law.
Please follow the step-by-step instructions below to apply for an Emergency Loan from the College of Law.
Complete an Emergency Loan application
Emergency Loan applications are available from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, Room 119, Armstrong Hall. Be sure to supply all requested information. In order to qualify for an Emergency Loan, you must: 1) have a verifiable source for repayment; 2) not have any other outstanding emergency loans; 3) not have been delinquent on the repayment of a previous emergency loan; 4) have paid current semester tuition and fees; 5) not be delinquent in payments of other university debts; and 6) have proof of your emergency.
Meet to discuss your application Once the application is completed, please schedule a meeting with Joseph Lindsay, Financial Aid Counselor, (Armstrong Hall, 119) to discuss your Emergency Loan application.
Receive your response
You will be notified in person during your meeting or by email whether your Emergency Loan has been approved.
Disbursement
Once you have received notice that your loan has been approved, you may pick it up at the Student Accounts Office on the second floor of the Student Services Building.
Pay back your loan
Emergency loans must be paid back by the repayment date established during your meeting. In addition to paying back the amount of the loan, you are also responsible for paying a $15 service fee. Payment must be made to the Cashier's Office on the second floor of the Student Services Building. (A copy of your receipt must be submitted to Joseph Lindsay.)
