The Annual Student Loan Acknowledgment (ASLA) is available at studentaid.gov. Who should complete the ASLA? Borrowers accepting a subsidized/unsubsidized loan, a PLUS loan for graduate/professional students, or a PLUS loan for parents. Borrowers are acknowledging that they understand their responsibility to repay the loan and that they understand how much they owe and how much more they can borrow.
The UW will receive the completed PLUS loan request and promissory note information within 48 – 72 hours which will update our systems. At that time, your student can check their financial aid status on MyUW to verify we have received their loan information. If you have selected that you do not know the amount to borrow, an award will be offered which your student will need to accept to complete the process.
