The U.S. Department of Education has announced that it will resume collections on defaulted federal student loans, officially ending the collections pause that has been in place since March 2020.

The Student Financial Services Office strongly encourages all student loan borrowers to verify their loan status by visiting www.studentaid.gov. Once logged in, you can view your loan details and current status.

Please note:

• Current students enrolled at least half-time at the University are typically in in-school deferment.
• Former students who have graduated or withdrawn should contact their student loan servicer to confirm their repayment status.

All relevant loan information, including loan servicer contact details, can be found under the “Student Loans” section of www.studentaid.gov.

Defaulting on a federal student loan is preventable. Stay informed and communicate regularly with your loan servicer to avoid default.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our office at 617-573-8488.
