  • All first time borrowers are required to complete Entrance Counseling and have a signed MPN on file before the financial aid office can process a loan application on their behalf. Continuing loan borrowers are typically exempt from this requirement.

  • Student loan borrowers who leave school, drop below half-time status, or graduate will be required to complete Loan Exit Counseling
