Exit Loan Counseling | Financial Aid Office | SIU

Exit counseling provides individual assessments to student borrowers about the type and total amount of their personal indebtedness, as well as information on repayment plans, and deferment, forbearance and loan consolidation options.

Every student who has received a Federal Direct Stafford Loan  is required to receive exit counseling at the time of graduation, withdrawal, or dropping below at least half-time enrollment.

On-line exit counseling for Federal  Loan recipients is available at any time at studentaid.gov.  Students must have their FSA-ID and password  available to do exit loan counseling.
