Exit Loan Counseling
If you graduate, withdraw or drop below half-time registration status, and you have borrowed a Federal Direct, Health Professional, Perkins, or Institutional student loan, you must complete an Exit Loan Counseling. This is an opportunity for your lender to remind you of your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower. In turn, you must provide your lender with certain information about your plans after you leave school (for example, your current address, your expected employer, two personal references, etc.).
Completing the Exit requirement is only one step in keeping your loans in good standing. Remember that loan indebtedness is reported to credit agencies. Until your loan is paid in full, continue to communicate with your lender regarding any changes in your address, school enrollment status or questions about making repayment.
The majority of our students enjoy the convenience of completing the Exit Loan Counseling session on-line. However, federal regulations require that we offer an in-person session. To learn more about in-person sessions call (510) 642-8310.
