You also have the option of viewing your loan and grant/scholarship information separately by term and academic year. Besides being able to view this information online, a printable version is available as well.
Keeping track of your borrowing is important. If you are borrowing from the federal loan programs, you should also visit the National Student Loan Data System, which contains current contact information for your federal student loan lender(s) and the current balance and status of any federal loan you have borrowed, including those borrowed while attending institutions other than Northwestern. NSLDS will not contain information about private or institutional loans.
The loans listed for the current academic year include the full amount of the loans you have accepted, a portion of which may have not yet disbursed.
