Automated PLUS processing

Starting this summer for fall 2016 loan processing, parent borrowers who want to take out a parent PLUS loan will no longer complete the University of Minnesota’s ‘Active Confirmation’ form. Instead, they will begin the loan request process at http://www.studentloans.gov. This change will expedite the process for parent borrowers, eliminate inaccurate data and time-consuming data entry from the former paper form, and drive parents to important and relevant information at the federal student loans website.
