i3
Pacific Oaks has teamed up with i3, a new program that provides our students with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage student loans and make responsible financial decisions. I3 provides:
- Students, borrowers, and recent graduates with knowledge and tools necessary to properly manage student loans and make responsible repayment decisions.
- Counselors help students navigate through forms, rules, and regulations required to responsibly meet financial obligations. Also, counselors work to understand students’ financial situation and unique circumstances so that student loans do not become seriously delinquent or defaulted.
- Self-service tools, conference calls with lenders, consolidation and payment plan assistance.
- Access to IonTuition, a student loan management solution that assists students during the entire life cycle of student loan repayment process.

Additional Resources
Loan Repayment Calculator
- Student loans may seem to be a convenient option for students, but it is important to know how loan fees and interest rates can increase your total amount owed. To better understand how much your education may cost over time, visit the loan repayment calculator here.
This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance – including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses – minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.
