ICTC Student Lending Code of Conduct

The Indiana County Technology Center (ICTC) is committed to providing students and their families with the best information and processing alternatives available regarding student borrowing.

  • Indiana County Technology Center does not participate in any revenue-sharing arrangements with any lender.

  • Indiana County Technology Center does not permit any officer, employee or agent of the school who is employed in the financial aid office or is otherwise involved in the administration of education loans to accept any gifts of greater than a nominal value from any lender, guarantor or servicer.

  • Indiana County Technology Center does not permit any officer, employee or agent of the school who is employed in the financial aid office or is otherwise involved in the administration of education loans to accept any fee, payment or other financial benefit (including a stock purchase option) from a lender or affiliate of a lender as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans.

  • Indiana County Technology Center does not permit any officer, employee or agent of the school who is employed in the financial aid office or is otherwise involved in the administration of education loans to accept anything of value from a lender, guarantor, or group of lenders and/or guarantors in exchange for service on an advisory board, commission or other group established by such a lender, guarantor group of lenders and/or guarantors. Indiana County Technology Center does allow for the reasonable reimbursement of expenses associated with participation in such boards, commissions or groups by lenders, guarantors, or groups of lenders and/or guarantors.

  • Indiana County Technology Center will not request or accept any offer of funds to be used for private education loans to students from any lender in exchange for providing the lender with a specified number or volume of Title IV loans, or a preferred lender arrangement for Title IV loans.

  • Indiana County Technology Center will not request or accept any assistance with call center or financial aid office staffing.
