Eligibility exclusions

Before you apply for a loan, there are some exclusions that may affect your eligibility.

Distance learning (Online) programmes

Distance learning (i.e. online) programmes provided in partnership with Kaplan are ineligible for Title IV aid (Direct Loans) in accordance with Federal regulations (34 C.F.R. 600.51(d) and 668.10(d))

Students undertaking Distance Learning provided by the University of Liverpool can apply for Private Loans to help cover tuition costs.

Medicine and nursing degrees

The University's Programme Participation Agreement excludes eligibility for direct loans for students undertaking medicine or nursing degrees. If you plan on undertaking a medicine or nursing programme of study then you will be required to find alternate sources of funding as direct loans are not available to you.

Private loans and VA educational benefits are available to students on medicine and nursing programmes.

Other exclusions

  • Programmes involving modules with ineligible Institutions i.e. Social Research Methods MA with the North West Social Science Training Partnership
  • With limited exception, a programme offered in whole or in part in the United States (34 C.F.R.600.52)).
  • A programme for which any portion of the program is provided by an entity that is not eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs (34 C.F.R. § 600.54(c))
