If you borrow under the Stafford Loan Program, you are required to complete entrance counseling before receiving loan proceeds from your first loan. Your rights and responsibilities as a borrower will be explained as well as repayment obligations. During the semester that you expect to graduate or otherwise leave school, you will be asked to conduct an exit interview if you have borrowed from the Stafford Loan Program. At that time, information regarding your rights and responsibilities relative to the repayment of your loan will be provided. You may complete an entrance/exit counseling session by going to studentaid.gov.
If you have questions as you complete the counseling requirements, you may contact our office by phone at (985) 448-4048 or by e-mailing finaid@nicholls.edu. Our office will be notified by email when the interview has been completed.
