Excelsior and Sallie Mae / Enrollment fee

[matynurse]

After spending the majority of the last 2 days on the phone with Sallie Mae and Excelsior I have to say I'm getting nervous about both of those decisions. Neither one of their customer services reps seem to have any idea what the h is going on. Anyway I was approved for a Sallie Mae Smart option loan today. They said the next step was they would contact Excelsior to certify loan and I guess they will the distribute loan to them. My question is I have not enrolled since the $975 enrollment fee is part of the reason I applied for the loan, will Excelsior still certify/accept the loan? And does anyone know how it works once they do accept it? Will they keep it and deduct as I register for test or will it come back to me and I pay as I go? I borrowed extra to buy a new laptop and help cover travel expenses for the CPNE. You all seem much more informed than those that are getting paid! Thanks in advance for any info!!!:)
