Entrance Loan Counseling – Requirement

Welcome to Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU). To be in compliance with Federal regulations, all WesternU  students who are planning on paying for their education through the Federal Direct Loan program and Grad PLUS Loan program must complete the Entrance Loan Counseling on line. The purpose of the entrance interview is to provide the student with important information regarding their rights and responsibilities as a student borrower. This requirement also applies to students who have previously borrowed at another institution. Loan funds cannot be released/disbursed until this requirement has been met.

The Entrance Loan counseling may be completed on line.  The Financial Aid Office will send you information when it is time to complete your Entrance Loan Counseling.

Once you have successfully completed the on-line counseling session, an electronic confirmation will be sent to your email. Please print a copy of your confirmation for your records, all exam results will be sent to financial aid electronically.

Please note: Federal Direct Loans and Grad PLUS loans cannot be disbursed until all required documentation (entrance counseling, the master promissory note and other university required documents) are accurately completed.
