The Bureau will determine the repayment terms of the loan, taking into account the size of the students debt and their ability to repay. Normally, the repayment period will not exceed ten years.

The student may repay the loan in full or in part at any time in advance of the date upon which you are scheduled to start. The student may increase the amount and/or frequency of the payments at any time.

Student loans are to be repaid with interest. Each student has a maximum of ten years to repay the student loan including the course of study. For example, a student doing a three-year course will have seven years remaining to repay the loan. Interest is accrued at 12 percent throughout the life of the loan. This is a variable rate and may be reviewed from time to time. Students have the option to start repayment before the course ends and they can choose to repay the loan in as short a time as possible (i.e., the entire ten years do not have to be utilized (and) in fact they are not encouraged to do so).
