Entrance Counseling
Entrance Counseling is a federal requirement for all Federal Direct Loan recipients. The funds for your loan will not be disbursed until you have completed the counseling.
Entrance Counseling provides you with information about:
- Your rights and responsibilities as a borrower
- Interest rates, expenses, repayment plans, and other important details about borrowing
- Who to contact with questions
