Complete the University of Phoenix Material: Responsible Borrowing
Worksheet.
Submit your assignment by clicking the Assignment Files tab above.
Responsible Borrowing Worksheet
Many students acquire federal student loans to pay for college. The
goal of this assignment is to help you learn how to borrow
responsibly, which means that you do not borrow at all or that you
may borrow only what you truly need. To borrow responsibly, you
must understand your options and establish a financial plan for your
entire program. With that plan in place, you can focus on your courses
and make connections with instructors and other students.
Step 1
Watch the “Responsible Borrowing (Financial Aid)” video on the
orientation website (http://www.phoenix.edu/student-
orientation.html). Respond to the following questions:

7.  What is financial aid?
 How do grants differ from loans?
 What effect does class attendance have on funding availability?
Step 2
Navigate to the Your Student Loans category of the Financial
Services PhoenixConnect Community. Explore the resources
provided, as well as some of the discussions shared by community
members. Pay special attention to the following posts, and use them to
answer the follow-up questions.
 Know Your Repayment Options
(https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/94586)
 Minimize Student Loan Borrowing
(https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/94695)
 Creating an Educational Financial Plan
(https://portal.phoenix.edu/social/thread/95046)
Respond to the following questions:
 What did you find about student loan repayment plans?
 Why is having an educational financial plan important?
Step 3
Access the Financial Plan
(http://www.phoenix.edu/financialplanassignment). Enter your
program, and respond to the questions. Explore the information about
options for payment, reducing costs, and military students (if
applicable). If you have already completed the plan as part of the
enrollment process, you can use those results for this step.
 Based on this plan, what is your estimated monthly payment when
you enter repayment?
 As a result of completing the plan, what changes can you make to
reduce the amount you might borrow? Why?
