Beginning in the 2018-2019 academic year, state law requires that colleges and universities in the State of California send a notification to each student each year that includes all information currently available to the university about the student’s federal, institutional, and private educational loans, as well as estimated payment information.
You are in the best position to know what you owe. Consider the notification as a reminder to review your education loans and borrow only what you need for the upcoming year. Below are frequently asked questions, as well as other information on loan repayment and budgeting resources.

The estimated monthly payment is based on a standard, 10-year repayment term — 120 payments —and an average interest rate of 5.47%. The average interest rate is calculated using 5 years of federal interest rate data. Student loan interest rates vary based on the type of loan and when you borrowed. Be sure to check with your loan servicer for specific monthly payment and interest rate information.

Payments before formal repayment can be made at any point with no penalty. These payments may reduce principal and/or interest accrued on your loan(s). Under these circumstances, students may see a “pre-payment” or “refund” terminology on their loan servicer’s account. For more information, please contact your loan servicer.
Loan repayment must begin six months after you are no longer enrolled, enrolled less than half-time, intend to graduate, or graduated from Loyola Marymount University or Loyola Law School.
