The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program is a federal program created for those in public service jobs, offering the opportunity to have their federal loan balances forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments.

The University of California (EIN: 94-3067788) is a qualified employer for the PSLF program. Generally, many full-time UC employees who otherwise qualify may be eligible to apply their months of employment towards PSLF.

To ensure as many eligible UC faculty and staff as possible can take advantage of this program as possible, this page will be updated regularly with news and resources.

How do I obtain the employer information and signatures I need?

Here are a few helpful tips from UCPath to avoid delays:

  • Complete page 1 of the form (sections 1 and 2) with borrower information ONLY.
  • Make sure you sign and date your PSLF form before submitting it to UCPath.
  • UCPath accepts PSLF eforms submitted via DocuSign from the studentaid.gov PSLF site. The email address for UCPath is ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu. Please note: If job data is incorrect on the PSLF eform, UCPath will decline the DocuSign and send a secure email to the user with a PSLF PDF.
  • If you are or were classified as a variable paid employee, you must contact your campus location to complete the certification.
  • Ensure you meet ALL PSLF eligibility requirements; part-time employment does not meet the qualifications for loan forgiveness.
  1. Use the PSLF Help Tool to complete the PSLF Application for Forgiveness.
  2. Submit the form to the UCPath Center for completion of Sections 3 and 4:
    • Active employees: Submit your request online through your UCPath account:
      • Go to Ask UCPath > Submit An Inquiry
      • Complete the "Submit Inquiry" form (topic: "Human Resources") and click submit
    • Former UC employees: Submit your request via email to ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu
    • Along with your request, please specify how and where to return the form.
  3. For most efficient processing, submit the completed form by fax to 866-222-7060.
