Understanding Your Student Loan Repayment Options Webinar

August 9, 2023

The webinar that UC hosted with the federal Department of Education about the resumption of student loan repayments this fall is now posted here: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/understanding-your-student-loan-repayment-options.

The pandemic-initiated pause on federal student loan repayments is ending this fall. Interest will start accruing on loans on Sept. 1, and borrowers can expect to receive their bills sometime in September, with payments resuming in October.

But before you start repayments, know that help is on the way — new, revamped programs from the Department of Education have been designed to make managing student loan debt easier.

Officials from the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid held a webinar on July 27, co-sponsored by the University of California, to explain the new options. Knowing your choices can save thousands of dollars and discharge outstanding loans much sooner.
