CSU Global Direct - FAQs

Yes, since CSU Global Direct courses are not eligible for Federal Financial Aid or a traditional payment plan, there are alternative private student loan options for a non- degree seeking student through a bank/lender. We encourage students to do some extensive research to determine if an alternative private student loan is the right fit for you. Please note that an alternative private student loan must be in the student’s name, but can include a co-signer if required by the lender. Make sure that the private student loan that you are applying for is for a Non-Degree Seeking Alternative Private Student Loan. If you choose a private alternative student loan and have been approved through a lender’s online application, the CSU Global Financial Aid office will need to certify the loan and work with a CSU Global Direct Enrollment Counselor to register you for your course.
