Student Loan Default? You’ve Got More Time!

If you’re behind on your federal student loans, breathe easy—collections like wage garnishment are paused until July 2026! The Education Department is giving borrowers in default extra time to get back on track while they roll out new repayment options, including a plan that waives unpaid interest if you make on-time payments. You can even get small matching payments to help shrink your balance. Check out your options at StudentAid.gov before the new rules kick in! #Education #StudentLoans #DebtRelief

A University of Michigan senior is taking the school to court after being suspended for allegedly submitting a 'fake' telehealth medical note.

This case raises big questions about how schools handle telehealth documentation and academic integrity. Should universities trust telehealth notes? How can students protect themselves in similar situations? #Education #College #UniversityOfMichigan
