Entrance Counseling

Federal Regulations require all first time borrowers to complete a loan entrance counseling session before their Federal Stafford Loans can be disbursed. To complete your entrance counseling, select the Entrance Counseling button below. You will be given information regarding the Federal Stafford Loan program, asked periodic questions throughout the session and will complete a final review quiz at the end of the session. Once you have completed the quiz, be sure to click the Finish button.

Our office will receive electronic notification that you have successfully completed entrance loan counseling and will notate your financial aid record accordingly. If you have any questions after completing this session, please contact our office at 405.325.4521. If you are an Advanced Programs or Liberal Studies student please call 405.325.2929. Additional suggestions for effective management of student loans are shown below.

  • Take your loan obligations very seriously
  • Keep complete records and ask questions
  • Keep all copies of all correspondence that is sent to you and a copy of all correspondence received by you
  • Keep a phone log: date, time, names, content of conversation
  • Do not ignore your mail or phone messages
  • Create a personal monthly budget
