Possibly not immediately. Federal law (One Big Beautiful Bill) provides a temporary exception for certain continuing students and parent borrowers who meet the eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n

UCF will determine whether the exception applies based on the student’s and borrower’s federal aid records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[96],"class_list":["post-13536","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","tag-federal-financial-aid-changes-ob3"],"yoast_head":"\nMy parent borrowed a Parent PLUS Loan before July 1, 2026.
