When a student meets the requirements for conversion of one or more EPS loans to a 1 percent rate or to an interest-free loan or loans, the student may elect to waive the conversion of the EPS loan or loans for that degree and apply all or part of the student’s years of completed public service to one or more EPS loans for a subsequent degree, without regard to whether such EPS loan or loans for a subsequent degree exist at the time of the student’s election. In any event, each year of completed public service may be applied only to a single degree and the student is not authorized to change an election after notifying the authority in writing of his or her election.
