Home > Loans > Student Exit Counseling

Students who have borrowed a Federal Perkins, Federal Stafford or Federal Graduate PLUS Loan are required to complete Exit Counseling shortly before graduating, leaving school, or dropping below half-time status.

Federal Perkins Loan Borrowers

Federal Perkins Loan borrowers use ECSI to complete the Exit Counseling requirement.

Federal Stafford and/or Federal Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers

Click on the link below if you borrowed a Federal Stafford and/or Federal Graduate PLUS loan while at UConn. One exit counseling session will satisfy the requirements for both of these loan types.

Note: Federal Stafford and Federal Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers must complete their Exit Counseling online through NSLDS (National Student Loan Data System).

Once on the website, click the "Exit Counseling" link and follow the instructions. Be sure to select the University of Connecticut (school code 00141700), as well as any other school codes if you attended another institution. Once you are finished, you will be required to complete biographical information that will be transmitted electronically to the school and your loan guarantor or loan servicer. Be sure to print the confirmation page you will receive at the end of the online counseling session.

If you have any questions as you complete the counseling requirements you may contact our office via e-mail, by phone at (860) 486-2819, or email us at financialaid@uconn.edu.
