  • Live in the sleep laboratory on two separate occasions for 48–66 hours (approximately 4.75 days in total)

Federal student loan on-ramp program ending on Sept. 30

Last year, the Department of Education created an on-ramp to student loan repayment by providing an additional grace period for borrowers who may have been unable to begin repaying their loans immediately. During this period, borrowers have been able to make partial or late payments and miss payments without the associated consequences or negative credit reports. This period of protection ends on Sept. 30.
