Federal regulations require all Stafford Loan and Perkins Loan borrowers to complete Exit Counseling prior to withdrawing or graduating from the University.   If you are a graduating senior or have withdrawn from your classes or dropped to below half-time (6 credits undergraduate/5 credits graduate), you should complete this requirement as soon as possible. You can complete your Exit Counseling by going to http://studentloans.gov and selecting Complete Counseling and choosing Exit Counseling.  Follow the instructions provided. You will need your FSA ID to complete this process.

 

Perkins Loan Exit Counseling may be completed by going to www.heartlandecsi.com.

Select “Manage Student Loan Account”.  Enter log-in information; the school code is 19.

The account number will be your social security number.  If you have never been to this site before, just click on “Need Help Logging In”, a password will be generated for you.

 

We also encourage you to log into NSLDS at http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/.  Once there, you can find your total federal loan debt and servicer information.  You should contact your servicer(s) to update your contact information and to set up your online account and automatic payments.  If you borrowed an alternative loan at any time, you should contact your lender(s) for repayment information.

 

 If you feel you will have trouble paying your loans, please contact your lender for additional information on forbearance or repayment options.
