Student Loan Payments Has Restarted
Co-Lin is committed to keeping you updated with changes to the student loan program.
If you haven’t heard that COVID-19 payment pause has ended, student loan payments have restarted.
Your first payment is due in October 2023. You’ll get your bill, with your payment amount and due date, at least 21 days before your due date.
Student loans are complicated and, even under normal circumstances, it’s easy to get confused about the responsibilities and options. Copiah-Lincoln Community College wants to make sure every borrower gets the most up-to-date and accurate information.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Student Connections to provide additional support. Their Borrower Advocates can help answer any questions you have and address any issues you encounter with the process with repayment of student loans. This service is completely free to you.
