Exit Counseling
Federal regulations require students who have borrowed loans from a federal program to complete an exit counseling session when you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment (regardless if you plan to transfer to another school). Exit counseling provides important information you need to prepare to repay your federal student loan(s). The Office of Financial Aid is notified electronically within 24-business hours of completion.

Graduate PLUS Loan Exit Counseling; graduate student borrowers of a PLUS Loan may complete exit counseling online at www.studentloans.gov.
