How do I complete entrance and/or exit counseling

Entrance loan counseling and completion of an Annual Student Loan Acknowledgement is required before you can receive federal dollars for the first time.

Federal regulations require all borrowers to attend loan exit counseling session when they are either graduating, leaving school permanently, or do not intend to attend any school again for at least six (6) months or more. The exit counseling session is designed to help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower and help you successfully meet your repayment obligation.

Receiving financial assistance to attend college can be a burdensome process, but our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you step-by-step. Each year, thousands of dollars in scholarships and other aid goes unclaimed due to families not understanding the process or completing information in a timely manner. Remember, our office is here to assist you in every way possible to ensure a rewarding financial aid experience.
