Exit Counseling

Anytime you finish a program, leave school, or are no longer enrolled at least half-time, exit counseling is required.

Exit counseling is completed at studentaid.gov.

This on-line tutorial will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be required to use your StudentAid.gov to access the site.   If you no longer have your StudentAid.gov account, you may request a duplicate through the FSA website.

This is for FEDERAL DIRECT SUBSIDIZED, UNSUBSIDIZED, OR GRAD PLUS LOANS.

At any point in the Exit counseling process you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to visit our office.
