EMERGENCY LOANS
ASI has funded the Emergency Loan program every year to help students meet their emergency needs. The purpose of the Emergency Loan Fund of California State University, San Bernardino, is to meet temporary and minor financial emergencies that may arise while a student is in attendance at the university. They are sixty day loans that are available through the Student Accounts Office at a small fee to students.

Procedure
To apply for an emergency loan, please visit the Student Accounts Office web page at https://adminfin.csusb.edu/olel. Click on emergency loans and apply on-line. No paper applications will be accepted. When the loan is approved, the check will be ready for pick-up within 3-5 working days. All Emergency Loan checks can be picked up at the Student Accounts Office in Sierra Hall, Room 119.
