Our Best Answer - How do I accept my loans?
Accepting Loans
Students
To accept your student loans, go to My Aid Status and proceed to the Student Loan Tab. You will also need to complete any loan requirements associated with the loan you are accepting.
Graduate students who want to use their Graduate Plus Loan must apply for for it on studentloans.gov.
Parents
