Any time Bakersfield College credits a student account with Title IV loan funds, a notification is sent to the student, or parent for a Parent PLUS Loan, of the anticipated date and amount of the disbursement, the student’s or parent’s right to cancel within 14 days all or a portion of the loan, and the procedures and time by which the student or parent must notify the institution that he or she wishes to cancel the loan or loan disbursement.
You can view the Right to Cancel form below under "Additional Information."
You MUST have a valid FAFSA application for the year you intend to borrow loans. Dream Act applicants are not eligible for the Direct Loan program.
All the above loan types have loan fees that are a percentage of the total loan amount. See Federal Student Aid's current loan fees.
