What is an Entrance Loan Counseling Session?
All first-time student loan borrowers at UAA are required to complete Direct Loan Entrance counseling before their loan can be disbursed. This is completed on-line and takes about 20 minutes. It is a process designed to inform you of the rights and responsibilities associated with your student loan. Starting Fall 2010, all students borrowing any federal Stafford loans will be required to complete Direct Stafford Loan Entrance counseling, regardless of prior counseling under the FFEL program. All students who drop below half-time status, withdraw or graduate, must complete a Direct Loan Exit counseling session.
