All graduating students who borrowed Federal Direct Stafford Loans (Subsidized/Unsubsidized), Federal Perkins Loans, and/or School of Medicine University Loans are required to complete various exit interview requirements prior to graduation.

All borrowers are required to attend an online exit counseling session. These sessions provide students with the status of their loan debt obligations and their rights and responsibilities regarding repayment of the loans borrowed.
