<p>I have to take summer classes in order to graduate on time, but unfortunately I attend a college that does not have a summer session. Even if I attended my local university,I can’t afford more than a few hundred dollars for tuition and books. Has anyone been able to get a student loan and then transfer the funds to a school where they’re only a visiting student? </p>
<p>I’m an independent student (older than most undergrads) and my credit’s not great, so I doubt I could get a regular personal loan. Any help is much appreciated! </p>
<p>I’m looking to take classes at UC Berkeley over the summer.</p>
<p>Generally to get federal aid you have to be enrolled at the school as a degree seeking student. I don’t believe a visiting student is eligible for aid.</p>
<p>Did you have student loans during the regular school year?</p>
<p>If you’re a NY resident, and you don’t have much money…WHY are you considering taking classes at UCB over the summer? Won’t you have to pay OOS rates?</p>
<p>Because I’ve moved a lot over the past two years, I’m not eligible for NY state rates. It’s actually more expensive than UC. Berkeley charges $330 a unit, and I have an opportunity to live there. </p>
<p>I understand that I am not eligeble for federal aid or for aid through UC. I’m asking about being able to get a private loan and then transfer that to UC. Has anyone ever done that?</p>
