SUBCHAPTER A	GENERAL PROVISIONS
RULE §21.3	Loan Repayment Deferral for Emergency Loans for Tuition, Mandatory Fees and Textbooks Made Under Texas Education Code, §56.051 for Students Who Enroll in Graduate or Professional Degree Programs

(a) An institution may extend the time for repayment of loans for students who enroll in graduate or professional degree programs for up to three years, but not longer than one year beyond the time when the student fails to be enrolled in the institution on at least a half-time basis.

(b) An institution shall forgive an emergency loan to an individual who has been certified by a physician as being physically or mentally incapable of employment, resulting in a financial hardship that would make repayment infeasible. The physician's certification would need to indicate that the individual's extreme financial hardship condition is expected to continue and would likely make repayment infeasible for the succeeding five years.

(c) An institution shall maintain documentation justifying the deferral of repayments or the forgiveness of emergency loans for review by the State Auditor.
