Policy for Modified or Flexible Payment Options
Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy (CIMT) offers certain modified or flexible repayment options to Borrowers if they meet certain criteria. The purpose of this policy is to provide Borrowers with information on the criteria for modified or flexible repayment options and ensure that these are available to all Borrowers who meet the criteria for the repayment option.
The Options and applicable Criteria are:
1.Extension of Payment Period: Criteria: The Borrower’s loan repayment must be current with all payments, fees, and other costs fully paid through the date of the application for extension.
- A Borrower who enrolled prior to January 2024 and who has less than a seven year repayment term and finds that he/she is having difficulty meeting the monthly payment may apply to have the loan repayment period extended for up to a seven year period.
- A Borrower who enrolled after January 2024, and who has less than a three year repayment term and finds that he/she is having difficulty meeting the monthly payment may apply to have the loan repayment period extended for up to a three year period.
2. Move Missed Payment(s) to the End of the Loan Period: A Borrower who has missed one or more loan payments, but has otherwise kept his/her loan payments current (including payment of the late charges) for a period of 12 months since the last missed payment may apply to have the missed payments added to the end of the loan period to avoid payment of the monthly late charge. The amount of the monthly payment and any applicable interest shall remain the same. The modification will simply allow the Borrower to extend the repayment period by the number of monthly payments that were missed.
3. VA Funding Less Than Anticipated: A Borrower receiving VA funding which does not cover as much of the tuition as anticipated at the time of the loan, is eligible for payment plan arrangements based on the particular circumstances.
