We've invited Dr. Jeffrey E. Hanson to come speak with you about this important issue. He is an economist and a nationally recognized expert on student loan repayment and the options that are available to you in managing this important financial responsibility. He has been working with students/residents/graduates at UCSF for a number of years.

This interactive online webinar will focus on developing a strategic plan for managing loan repayment successfully, including information about

• Understanding the unique nature of federal student loans and the role of "opportunity cost" in deciding how to approach loan repayment strategically—it may not be best to pay off this debt as fast as possible or to refinance it with a private loan to get a lower interest rate!
• Knowing how to select the payment plan that best achieves your goals given what you can afford to pay each month.
• Determining what options are available if you cannot afford to make a loan payment when one is due.
• Taking advantage of loan forgiveness programs when you qualify for them.
• Evaluating the pros and cons of refinancing federal student loans with a private loan or consolidating with the Federal Direct Consolidation Loan.
• Managing loan repayment so that you are successful in repaying your loans while at the same time achieving your other personal, professional and financial goals.

As of March 26, 2025, the online IDR application is once again available for eligible borrowers to apply for the Income-Based Repayment (IBR), Pay As You Earn (PAYE), and Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plans. The online loan consolidation application is also available again.

Although the IDR application is now available, loan servicers are still updating their systems in accordance with the court’s actions. Servicers will begin processing applications in the near future.
