Free Repayment Guide » In Grace » Manage Student Loan Accounts » Consider Consolidation
Consolidation is simply refinancing or paying off multiple loans with one new loan. The loans that are consolidated or paid off (which your lender calls your “underlying loans”) go away, and any terms and conditions that were originally attached to or part of the loans also go away, because the original loans no longer exist.
