Misrepresentation

AUC will hold itself to the highest levels of integrity. It will not provide false, incorrect, or misleading statements made directly or indirectly to a student, any member of the public, an accrediting agency, or the US Department of Education. It has policies and procedures to ensure it does not misrepresent the nature of its educational programs in disseminating a student endorsement or testimonial. In addition, it ensures it does not misrepresent the nature of its financial charges.

Private Education Loans

Code of Conduct for Education Loans

AUC prohibits a conflict of interest with the responsibilities of university staff with respect to private education loans. The following actions are prohibited for any member of staff:

Private Student Loan Disclosures and Preferred Lender List

AUC does not have a Preferred Lender Agreement with any specific lender of private education loans. The University will, in most cases, work with whichever private lender a prospective borrower decides to use. However, prospective borrowers should be aware that the majority of private lenders choose not to offer loans to students studying outside the USA.

AUC certifies Sallie Mae's private loans. However, we do not process these loans, and students need to contact Sallie Mae directly to apply. Any reference to Sallie Mae in University communications or on the AUC website does not represent the existence of a ‘preferred’ lender and is merely used as an example of a lender. In the event that other companies begin to offer private student loans for study at foreign schools, they will be given equal visibility. AUC has no affiliation with and receives no financial incentives from Sallie Mae or any other private lender.

Note: Private student loans are still limited to your Cost of Attendance, similar to Direct Loans. You are allowed to hold both types of loans, but the total cannot exceed your Cost of Attendance.

Students should be aware that they may qualify for Title IV HEA Program loans and that the lending terms and conditions of the Title IV HEA Program loans may be more favorable than the provisions of the private education loans. Students are advised that AUC does not offer any advice on which loan to borrow and that they should conduct their own research into what loans would best meet their needs.
