To settle my student account, I intend to utilize financial aid including private loans.

The expectation is that the various components of your financial aid award will be set for disbursement by the due date and will be sufficient to cover the balance due on your student account. Any loans included in your award must meet the following criteria: credit check approved (if applicable), promissory note received by the lender, and disbursement date set. It is not necessary for Lewis & Clark to have received payment from any of your loans, grants or scholarships. It is only necessary for the disbursement dates to be established by the due date. Even if the actual disbursements will occur well after the due date, as long as they are established by the due date, your account is considered settled.
