Does your credit have to be good in order to get a Student Loan?

If you are getting a Private loan, then yes your credit does have to be in good order.

If you are getting a government loan, such as a Stafford Loan, or Perkins than no. They do not do credit checks. Parent Plus Loans do require credit checks though.
