Loan Exit

Loan Exit Requirements

The federal government requires all loan borrowers to complete the Loan Exit Requirement as a recipient of Federal Stafford or Perkins Loans. You must complete a loan exit when you either withdraw from school, drop below half-time, or graduate.

As you complete the loan exit counseling, please have the following information ready when you begin:

  • Expected employer (if unknown, answer “unknown”)
  • Next of kin (a family member who can be easily contacted)
  • Two references (names, addresses, and phone numbers)
  • Expected permanent address
  • Tax rate (estimate 23 percent)
  • Loan history

Use your federal pin number to access your personal loan history at www.nslds.ed.gov. Students needing a pin may request one at www.pin.ed.gov and a pin number will be emailed to you within 72 hours.

Please have the following loan information ready when you begin:

  • Loan type (Subsidized Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford)
  • Loan balances
  • Loan interest rate (caps at 8.25 percent)
  • Estimated time of repayment (ten years)
