yes
As long as loan stays current, credit & other obligations irrelevant.
No they don't. There is no income or credit qualifications other than federal delinquencies. (student loans, federal tax liens etc) We have even stopped foreclosure with a reverse mortgage.
A student-orphan does not need a cosigner if he has excellent academic performance but he needs to apply through the School Aids department to get the loan. On the other hand, a poorly academic performing student-orphan may not be able to use the assistance School Aids department but he/she can get the loan from the Federal loans schemes and the PLUS that requires cosigners.
Federal student loans do not currently have cosigners. Parents who take out federal PLUS loans for their kids often think they are a cosigner, when they are actually the sole borrower. All federal student loans are discharged if the student dies.
When student loans are deferred, the payments are put on hold for a set amount of time.
You can defer your student loan payments while in school. Typically student loan payments are not deferred due to employment status.

No. Only the student who signed the promissory note is legally obligated to repay the loan. Stafford loans do not have credit requirements or cosigners; in fact, the borrower no longer even needs to be 18. Parents may be contacted by the loan holder if they were listed as references, but only for the purpose of trying to locate the borrower. In the past, Guaranteed Student Loans did sometimes have parent "endorsers" who were responsible if their son or daughter did not pay.
It shows on your credit report even before they start making payments.
OP here with more details: the private student loans they are cosigned on are current/paid on time, but other private student loans (with the same lender) are about to default. Can this in any way cause problems for my cosigner?
The co-signer is fully responsible for paying the loan and, therefore, they should take over the payments immediately to prevent damage to their own credit record.Cosigners should make certain they know what their obligations are before they sign. A person who has poor credit or no credit record needs a cosigner when they borrow money. A cosigner is a person who accepts the responsibility of repayment of a loan along with the primary borrower. The lender requires a cosigner to increase the chances that it will be repaid. The cosigner is sometimes referred to as the guarantor because they guarantee the full repayment of the loan in the event the borrower defaults. The cosigned loan will appear as a debt on the cosigners credit record.The co-signer is fully responsible for paying the loan and, therefore, they should take over the payments immediately to prevent damage to their own credit record.Cosigners should make certain they know what their obligations are before they sign.
