Prior to ceasing attending at least half time (whether due to graduation, leave of absence, withdrawal, or dismissal) from JPCatholic, it is required that students who received Federal aid complete Exit Counseling for their Federal loans. They should complete their requirement at studentloans.gov, and may also reference the exit counsel booklet here.

Students who have private loans should review their loan information at that time as well so that they are prepared for repayment. If they have not already done so, it is encourage that they set up online access to their accounts.

Financial Aid Staff is available to answer questions regarding this information. If you would like assistance in sorting through your loan papers and information or with preparing a budget, please attend one of the financial aid literacy sessions or make an appointment.
