Aggregate Student Loan Limits

If the total loan amount you receive over the course of your undergraduate education reaches the aggregate loan limit, you are not eligible to receive additional loans. However, if you repay some of your loans to bring your outstanding loan debt below the aggregate loan limit, you could then borrow again. You can do this up to the amount of your remaining eligibility under the aggregate loan limit.
