Online Loan Exit Counseling

Welcome to UMMC Online Loan Exit Counseling sessions provided through Studentaid.gov . We are happy to offer these sessions as a convenient method for satisfying the federal requirements regarding loan exit counseling.

In these sessions you will receive information about your student loan repayment under the Direct Student Loan Program, Health Professions (HPSL & NSL), and/or McKinstry Loan Programs. This information includes:

• Your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower.
• Your options for repaying your student loans.
• Useful financial planning tools to help you manage your student loan repayments.

Important: All students should review information about the potential benefits of Student Loan Consolidation.
