Y
ou have made a commitment to yourself and your future. Be a responsible borrower – you do not want to default on your student loan.
Default is the failure to repay your loan according to the terms of the promissory note. If you have/had a student loan in default within the past
24 months prior to the first day of the semester, you cannot take on additional loans to use for return to Coastal Pines Technical College.
Loan default has serious consequences:
• Your entire loan balance (principal and interest) may be due in full immediately.
• You may lose eligibility for loan deferment/forbearance.
• Your account may be turned over to a collection agency and you will have to pay additional charges, late fees and collection costs, all of
which become part of your debt.
• Your credit rating will be damaged for several years because defaulted loans are reported to national credit bureaus.
• You will have difficulty qualifying for credit cards, a car loan, a mortgage, or renting an apartment (credit checks are required to rent an
apartment).
• You can be sued for the entire amount of the loan.
