Loan Management and Repayment

In addition to the counseling services available from our own financial aid staff, the University of San Francisco School of Law also provides students with one-on-one debt management consultations with an outside expert, as well as, the following series of short video clips. These brief video presentations will significantly enhance your understanding of federal student loan borrowing and the repayment processes and options.
