I was accepted to a post-bac program (SMP) and the two options to fund my graduate study are through the Stafford Grad loans and the Grad PLUS loans. My question is: I'd like to get the ball rolling on the loan paperwork so can I do this right away or do I need some kind of "green light" from my university financial aid office? I've emailed them the same question but they have not responded yet.

My FAFSA 2010-2011 is done and was processed earlier this year.
