Tip* Check your student loan status each term by registering with your student loan servicer at their website for first-hand information on your student loans

It is important to remember that your federal loan servicer is there to help you stay clear of delinquency and default. There are a variety of options they can provide.

The worst thing you can do is ignore them! Here is a website with a list of the USDOE’s Federal Loan Servicers.
