Loan repayment

Repayment of your WSU long-term loan will begin seven months from the time you cease to be enrolled at least half time.

• All payments are due by the first of the month.
• You have the right to pay more than the amount that is due on your loan.
• This process will shorten the time that your loan is in repayment and reduce the overall interest that you will pay.
• You may prepay without any penalty on the loan at any time.
