Part 4850.0012 - SCHOOL AGREEMENTS AND STUDENT APPLICATIONS

Subpart 1.Institutional loan participation agreement.

A. For an eligible school to certify new SELF Loans, the eligible school and the commissioner must sign a loan participation agreement that:

(1) states the eligible school's responsibility for certifying and delivering loans to students; and

(2) names a representative of the eligible school responsible for administering the agreement.

B. For purposes of this subpart, "certifying" means an eligible school:

(2) determines that the borrower has demonstrated maximum effort; and

(3) calculates the maximum allowable SELF Loan eligibility and recommends a specific loan amount.

C. If a school finds that a borrower is in default of an existing SELF Loan, the school must not certify a new SELF Loan for the borrower. When determining whether a borrower is in default, the school may rely on written, verbal, or electronic information available to the school.
