Graduation Information
Congratulations! Earning your degree is quite an accomplishment, and we wish you the very best in your life after St. Thomas!
Before you go, however, there are a few things we want to share with you.
If you borrowed any student loans, be sure you completely understand your repayment responsibilities. You are responsible for repaying your loans even if you don't receive a bill or repayment notice. You'll want to be sure to know where to send your payments, where to send written correspondence, what repayment options are available to you and what the consequences will be if you do not repay your loans. You also must immediately notify your loan holder of any change to your name, address, phone number or social security number.
