Loan Entrance and Exit Counseling

Regardless of the type of loan you borrow, federal regulations require loan entrance and loan exit counseling so you know your rights and responsibilities as a borrower of Federal Student Loans. This includes Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Perkins Loans and Grad PLUS loans.


Loan entrance counseling must be completed before your loan funds can be credited towards your bill. You must fulfill this requirement on the Web, by going to www.studentloans.gov. Once you have finished your loan counseling, the Financial Aid Office will be sent a confirmation e-mail so your loan can be disbursed.


Loan Exit Counseling is also required upon graduation. Group sessions for loan exit counseling are offered on campus at the end of the academic year. This counseling will provide you with important information about the loans you have borrowed. If a student is unable to attend one of these sessions, he or she must make arrangements with the Financial Aid Office. You may have the option of doing your loan exit counseling online at www.mappingyourfuture.org/OSLC. Your lender will also contact you with additional information about your loan obligations and repayment amounts. Perkins Loan borrowers will complete loan entrance and exit counseling with our loan servicer. They will contact you directly if you have borrowed a Perkins Loan.
