Entrance Counseling
Entrance counseling must be completed before the first disbursement of a loan. If
you do not complete your Loan Entrance Counseling, your loan will not be able to be
processed.
You can complete loan entrance counseling online at the StudentAid.gov website.
Exit Counseling
Exit counseling must be completed before graduation or dropping below half-time enrollment.
You may complete your exit counseling online at the StudentAid.gov website. You will need your Social Security number, FSA ID, and the name and addresses of your nearest relative and two personal references
to complete the session. When you have finished your exit counseling, remember to
print your completion certificate.
If you need to get a Separation Form signed for Financial Aid, bring your completion
certificate into the Financial Aid Office and our Front Desk representative will be
able to sign off.
