Entrance Counseling
If you have not previously received a Direct Loan or Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), the Federal Government requires you to complete entrance counseling at http://www.studentloans.gov to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and obligations you are assuming.
If you complete your entrance counseling to borrow a loan as an undergraduate student, then the entrance counseling fulfills counseling requirements for Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans.
​
To complete Entrance Counseling as an undergraduate student, you will need:
-
Approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Entrance Counseling must be completed in a single session.
