UC supports employees who want to advance their education and offers tuition and fee discounts to those who are eligible. Regular status employees who meet the admission requirements of the university are eligible for a two-thirds reduction of both the University Registration Fee and the Educational Fee when enrolled in regular session courses of up to nine units or three courses per quarter or semester, whichever provides the greater benefit.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program is a federal program created for people working in public service, such as UC ANR, that offers the opportunity to have one's federal loan balances forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments.
Notably, the program would allow those who qualify to have the remaining balances of their student loans waived. The PSLF has recently been overhauled, making the application process easier and widening the scope of eligibility.
If you have qualifying loans and haven't taken advantage of the forgiveness program, the deadline for the PSLF is Oct. 31. To apply, you will need to obtain employment verification from UCPath, which could take some time. Check out the full details at the government website.
