Now is a great time to check your student loan balance—even if you’re not sure you took out a loan! If you have a balance and are graduating or not coming back, you are required to complete Exit Counseling. Exit Counseling helps you understand your repayment options, rights, and responsibilities before repayment begins. Both can be accessed at studentaid.gov. Being proactive now can help you avoid headaches in the future.
