Exit Counseling
Before graduating, withdrawing, or dropping below 1/2 time enrollment, federal student loan borrowers are required to complete exit counseling. Exit counseling will provide you with valuable information about your rights and responsibilities as a student borrower. Please choose the counseling that is most appropriate for you. The sessions should take 20-30 minutes.
