Online Loan Exit Counseling

Welcome to The University of Mississippi Online Loan Exit Counseling Sessions. We are happy to offer these sessions as a convenient method for satisfying the federal requirements regarding loan counseling.  

In these sessions you will receive information about your student loan repayment under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), Health Professions (HPSL), Perkins and/or McKinstry Loan Programs. This information includes:

• Your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower.

• Your options for repaying your student loans.

• Useful financial planning tools to help you manage your student loan repayment effectively.

Important: All students should review information about the potential benefits of Student Loan Consolidation.
