The team will continue its work on the project throughout the month of April, modifying the design, editing and adding content, and improving navigation and functionality. A full launch of the IPFW.edu site is expected sometime after the end of the spring 2010 semester. In the meantime, feel free to preview the site and share any thoughts on the work in progress.
Direct Lending Coming to IPFW
Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, IPFW will join thousands of other institutions of high education in the United States in the federal Direct Student Loan Program. Students with federal Stafford, Grad PLUS, and Parent PLUS loans will borrow their funds from the federal government instead of from multiple private banks and credit unions.
 
All students who now have federal student loans must sign a new Master Promissory Note. Read the details.
