* Skipping a payment may result in additional interest charges and an extended loan maturity date. When payments resume, we will first apply your payment to accrued interest before reducing your principal balance. This may increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan and extend the maturity date beyond the skipped period. Eligibility requires good standing and at least three consecutive payments. Program terms are subject to approval, change or cancellation at any time.
