Exit counseling
A page within Financial Aid
Exit Counseling must be completed each time a student drops below half-time, withdraws entirely from the university, or graduates.
Important information:
1- If not already done so, the student should create a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID username and password at studentaid.gov by clicking on Create Account in the upper right-hand corner. An FSA ID is required to log into the website and does require the student's identity to be verified through the Social Security Administration, which could take a few business days.
2- The Exit Counseling session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and must be completed in one sitting.
3- As part of the session, students will need to supply contact information for their next of kin and information for two references who live at a different address than their next of kin; please note that all three references must live at different addresses.
Proceed to Exit Counseling to complete this federal requirement.
