Loans and Loan Repayment

It is important for you to know your loan balance amounts and repayment options both before and after graduation.

We encourage you to work with your loan servicers and the U.S. Department of Education to stay informed about your loans. Making regular monthly payments on your loan(s) will maintain a good credit rating. Complete loan repayment information through the U.S. Department of Education is available at Repay Your Loans.
