Variable Interest Rates:
Variable interest rates fluctuate according to changes in financial indexes such as the U.S. Treasury Bill, and the Prime Rate. Although they may vary, they typically have a cap on how high they can rise. For example, the Stafford loan is capped at 8.25%, and the PLUS is capped at 9%.

Visa Status:
International students dropping below the minimum number of units in a semester without authorization violate their student status. Contact the Office of International Student Services for more information.
