As
you may know, recent Congressional action has caused
many lenders in the Federal Family Education Loan
Program (FFELP), including Student Loan Xpress (SLX), to
reassess their ability to serve borrowers and their
families. After careful review, SLX has decided to
close their student lending origination operations,
effective April 3, 2008. Any current loans and
repayment schedules will not be changed. Student Loan
Xpress will honor and service all loans that we have
disbursed to date.
The Office of Financial Aid is currently reviewing our
process and will be updating their online lender list by
May 10, 2008. All current SLX borrowers at USF will be
sent a letter by April 25, 2008 detailing the steps
needed to be taken for any future loans, including
summer sessions.
UPDATE: This
letter was generated and sent on Friday, April 25 as
planned. A representative will be available in
Trinity Hall on April 30, 2008 from 10 - 2 to assist in
signing a new MPN for future borrowing. A printed
list was mailed with the letter. The electronic
list will be available May 10, 2008 to electronically
sign a new MPN. A preview of the list is in PDF
format below.
