Managing Your Debt
This is an important issue for all college students. The rising cost of tuition, fees, books and supplies has led to a major increase in student loan borrowing as well as credit card use.
If you use credit cards to supplement your costs or living expenses you will have an additional financial burden while repaying your student loans. We encourage you to borrow sensibly and prepare a monthly budget to calculate your expenses and salary before you use that credit card.
If you need further assistance, contact your lender for loan consolidation and/or the following for further information.
Options for Resolving Student Loan Default
