Perkins Loan

Federal Perkins Loans are awarded through the Office of Financial Aid. For information on eligibility for this type of loan please contact the Office of Financial Aid. If a student is awarded this loan, a Master Promissory Note and a Federal Perkins Indebtedness Statement must be signed in the Office of Student Accounts.

This loan has a nine-month grace period before repayment begins after a student graduates. An exit interview form is mandatory and must be completed upon graduation. This form may be obtained in the Office of Student Accounts or the student may go online to www.uasexit.com and complete this information electronically. Should a student transfer to another university or choose not to take classes for a semester this interview must still be completed. Also, once repayment has begun and a student should incur financial difficulty, different options are available to assist in deferment, cancellation or forbearance. It is the responsibility of the student to request one of these options.

When repayment of this type of loan is due, Coastal Carolina University uses an outside billing service called University Accounting Service, which is monitored by the on-campus Office of Student Accounts. Most correspondence will be through University Accounting Service.

For questions concerning this type of loan, please contact the Perkins Loan Coordinator in the Office of Student Accounts via phone 843-349-2245 or tmcallis@coastal.edu.
