Student Lending   For many students, loans are an essential part of their paying-for-college strategy.  When borrowing, it is important to do it responsibly by borrowing only what you need, and using federal loans before borrowing from a private lender.  There are several types of educational loans which are certified and disbursed through the Student Loan Office.

Statement on Educational Lending   Duke University has established a set of publicly available principles and policies to govern educational lending practices for undergraduate, graduate and professional students. These principles emphasize that our lending practices come from a commitment to the best interests of our students.  Neither Duke nor its employees accept financial payments, goods or services of material value from lenders. All employees involved in financial aid and student lending are subject to a rigorous conflict of interest policy. Administrators may serve as unpaid members of lender advisory boards in order to help shape the products and services that will best meet the needs of our students. In such cases, Duke pays all costs associated with that service. For more detailed information please see our full Statement on Educational Lending, available in our Policies & Procedures Manual.
