Federal Regulation requires that all student loan borrowers attend an exit
interview prior to leaving school where details concerning your loans will be
discussed at length. A letter will be received during the semester you are to
graduate relating the specific location and time for the meeting. It is
important to keep an accurate graduation date and address with the loan
department to assure our records are correct. Failure to complete an exit
interview will result in a HOLD on transcript, registration, and cap and gown.
Group exit interviews are scheduled for borrowers toward the end of each
semester. If you have a Perkins Loan, and do not attend the group meeting, you
will be required to wait your turn in line in the Student Accounts' Office, to
attend an individual interview.
What happens during an exit interview?
Generally, a 15-minute video will be shown explaining the importance of
repaying the loan and /or completing cancellation, deferment or forbearance
forms. Financial papers including a truth-in-lending letter and a repayment
schedule will be given to you along with copies of promissory note(s) and other
important information stating your rights and responsibilities.
Please bring the following information with you to the exit interview:
Billing address and phone number
Driver's license or state identification number
Address and phone number of current or expected employer
Address and phone number of next-of-kin (family member)
Addresses and phone numbers of two additional contacts
