Student Loan Exit Information

Student loans, unlike grants and scholarships, are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Exit Counseling is required for those who withdraw, graduate, or drop below half time attendance. Exit Counseling helps you understand your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower and provides useful tips and information to help you manage your student loans.

Repayment: What to Expect



Loan borrowers have a six month grace period before the first payment is due. This time will allow you to get financially settled. This information will help you determine which repayment option is right for your financial situation.
