UPDATE: COVID-19 Interest Rate Suspension Information – Health Professions Student Loans and Nurse Faculty Loans
HSRA is extending the waiver of interest and extending the opportunity for administrative forbearance on health professions student loan and Nurse Faculty Loan programs from March 13, 2020 through December 31, 2020. These policies apply to borrowers to the following programs:
Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL);
Primary Care Loan (PCL);
Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS);
Nursing Student Loan (NSL); and Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP).
Borrowers’ monthly payments will remain the same, but the full amount of the payment will be applied to already accrued interest and/or the outstanding principal. Borrowers who are unable to make payments on their loans due to the COVID-19 national emergency may request administrative forbearance.

Sign Up for Direct Deposit
There are two forms of Direct Deposit and we recommend students sign up for both:
1) For Federal Direct Loans, please sign up for Direct Deposit through UCSF Afford. You should have received a registration email from afford.com. If you cannot locate this email, please select the "Resend Registration Email" under the log in button.
2) For UCSF-funding (e.g. COLS, Emergency Loans etc.), please complete this form and submit to Student Accounting (the information for where to send the completed form is in the top-right corner on the form).
Failure to sign-up may result in the delays and inconveniences associated with mailing.
