OU Title IV Institutional Code: 003184
Exit Counseling
Federal regulations require federal student loan borrowers who graduate, discontinue enrollment, or enroll less than half time to complete exit counseling. Exit counseling provides information about interest rates, grace period, repayment information, what to do if having trouble repaying your loan, and your rights and responsibilities, etc. Exit counseling is in a quiz format; information is presented then questions must be answered. At the end of the session be sure to print your confirmation page for your records. You may also get an email from the U.S. Department of Education that your exit counseling has been successfully completed and sent to OU.
