 Exit Loan Counseling To be in compliance with Federal Regulations, exit interviews must be conducted prior to graduation on loans you received from the Department of Education and Health and Human Services. This includes the Federal Stafford loan, Grad Plus loan and the Perkins loan.
Students will need to complete an exit for each of the programs they borrowed from. For example, if you borrowed from the Stafford loan and the Grad Plus loan you will complete an exit for each of those programs. When you are ready to begin your exit counseling session (s) you will begin by clicking on FASTFacts Exit Counseling, where you will first be directed to create an account. Once you have registered, you will then select "Choose Your Exam" from the left hand menu, select the exam you want to take, set up your student profile/general information, set up your student loan debt evaluation or continue through those screens, read through the study review guide then take the quiz at the end, once you have completed the exam it will prompt you to select another exam. When you have completed the exit loan counseling session please print a copy of your confirmation for your records. To meet graduation requirements Western University must receive your confirmation no later than March 31, 2009.
