About Your Interest Bill

  • Unlike a regular bill, you have the option to receive an Interest Bill while your loans are in deferment, forbearance, grace, or in-school status.
  • Making Interest Bill payments prevents accrued interest from capitalizing (being added to your principal balance) before you start receiving regular monthly bills.
  • We mail Interest Bills 21 days prior to your payment due date if you decide to pay your interest while in deferment, forbearance, grace, or in-school status.

About Your Interest Notice

  • Interest Notices differ from bills because you're not required to make a payment if your loan is in deferment, forbearance, grace, or in-school status.
  • If you did not request to pay your interest in advance, we mail Interest Notices, at least once a year while you are in school, grace, deferment, or forbearance, giving you plenty of time to make your payment.

  1. Account Number: The 10-digit number assigned to you.

    Use this number when making any type of payment or when contacting our office via telephone communication or written correspondence.

  2. Interest Summary: This is the total amount of interest accrued on your loan up to the 'Pay By' date. If you would like to pay your interest before it is capitalized (added to your principal balance of your loan) you must pay it by the date shown.

  3. Loan Program: This is the loan type for each of your loans.

    It is useful if you ever decide to apply for another payment plan because different plans have different loan program requirements.

  4. Anticipated Capitalization Date: The date the interest will be added to your Balance if you are unable to pay some or all of the Anticipated Capitalization Amount.

  5. Anticipated Interest Amount to be Capitalized: The amount of interest that accumulated on your account- This amount is added to your principal balance if you are not able to pay it by the Pay By Date. Capitalization increases your student loan debt, which may result in a higher monthly installment amount, and it may take you longer to pay off your student loans. To avoid capitalization of interest pay the interest that accrues, if you are able to do so.
