Question by Brittaney: If you consolidate student loans, what happens to the responsibility of the cosigner?
I am looking into consolidating my student loans. I have 2 separate cosigners on the loans. If I consolidate, does that release them of their responsibility to the loan? Or are they still attached as cosigners?

Consolidating intending you are using a bigger loan to pay off smaller loans. So, in short, the old loaned are now done and the previous co signers are no longer destined to the new balance. Unless they co subscribed for the consolidated loan, they are not responsible anymore.
