Student Loan Office
The student loan office provides entrance and exit counseling to borrowers of all federal student loan programs (William D. Ford Federal Direct, Perkins, Health Professions, and Nursing). Collect payments and provide customer service for Perkins, Health Professions, Nursing, and Institutional Loan Programs.
You may consolidate online with the Direct Consolidation Program at www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov. After July 1, 2006 there will be no consolidation accepted while in school.
If you have a Perkins loan, please consider the cancellation benefits before you consolidate the Perkins with your Direct Student Loans or you will lose your benefits. If you have outside lenders other than Direct Student Loans, you can not consolidate with the Direct Consolidation Program.
If you consolidate with the Direct Consolidation Program and make the first 12 payments on time, you will keep the 1.5% rebate you received at the point your Direct Loans were disbursed. If you have your payments taken out of your account electronically, you will receive an additional .25% interest rate discount.
