Note
- You must have earned 30 college level credit hours, which count toward your current degree program, to be eligible for Sophomore level loans. If you are earning an Associates Degree you can not be considered anything higher than a sophomore at Valencia.
- If you have been accepted into a Bachelors Degree at Valencia you will be eligible for Junior limit loans once you have completed 60 college level credit hours toward your Bachelors Degree.
- The amounts in the chart above are the maximum amounts that you may borrow for an academic year. You might receive less than the maximum if you receive other financial aid that's used to cover a portion of your cost of attendance.
- Borrow responsibly as the aggregate limits are for your entire undergraduate career up to a bachelor's degree.
