Canceling a Loan

If you wish to cancel an undisbursed or disbursed Federal Direct Loan you may email the Office of Financial Aid at FinancialAid@ColumbiaState.edu and make your request. Please be sure to include the following:

  • Full Name
  • Columbia State Community College Identification Number (“A” number located on the back of your student ID) – Please do not include your social security number.
  • The type of loan you are asking to cancel (i.e. subsidized or unsubsidized).
  • The amount you wish to cancel (please be sure to include a specific amount or state that you wish the loan to be canceled in full).
  • The term for which you want the loan canceled (fall/spring/summer with appropriate year).

Notice: The Office of Financial Aid cannot reduce or cancel disbursements for which you have already received a refund check unless the loan refund amount is returned to the business office during the same academic year it was received.
