Private Loans for Continuing Education Courses
The University of North Florida can certify private loans for certain non-credit courses offered through the UNF Professional and Lifelong Learning. Private Loans, offered by banks and financial institutions, are based on your credit profile. The student and/or co-signer must be creditworthy as determined by the lender. Eligibility criteria may vary per lender. The loan application process with the lender must be completed before UNF can certify and award the loan.
The UNF Professional and Lifelong Learning Private Loan Processing Form is not a loan application. This form notifies the Professional and Lifelong Learning staff that you wish to enroll and pay for a Professional and Lifelong Learning course using a private loan. Please download the form below and review the steps. For questions, contact Lauren Tallier or call (904) 620-4200.
