counseling session. This quick and easy interactive counseling session provides
useful tips and tools to help you develop a budget for managing your educational
expenses and helps you to understand your loan responsibilities. This entrance counseling
session can be found on the Federal Student Aid website.
Exit Counseling for Student Loan Borrowers
Direct loan exit counseling will explain your rights and responsibilities as a direct
loan borrower.
Exit counseling information is also located on the Federal Student Aid website. You will need to have your
Social Security number and your PIN number ready in order to log into this portion
of the site.
Financial Aid Cost of Attendance
The financial aid office uses an estimate of direct and indirect costs
to determine how much financial aid a student may be eligible for. Direct costs
include tuition, fees, some books and supplies and institutional housing. Indirect
costs include estimates of other living expenses, transportation and personal expenses. Examples
of the cost of attendance estimates used can be found by clicking here.

that information to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Information in
NSLDS is accessible to schools, lenders, and guarantors that are authorized users
of the data system.
