Exit Counseling

All CSC borrowers must also complete an Exit Interview before graduating, or when dropping below 6 credit hours or withdrawing or transferring to another institution. You may complete your Exit Interview in person at the Financial Aid Office or you may complete the Exit Interview on-line. If you choose to complete the Interview in person, you will need to contact us at start@csc.edu to make arrangements. If you choose to complete the Exit Interview on-line, you will find the necessary links below to fulfill this requirement. If you are a Federal Direct Loan borrower, you will need your PIN to complete this on the web.

Before proceeding with your Exit Interview on-line, please take a moment to review the information below.

* Important Note: Exit Loan Counseling for Direct Borrowers requires your U.S. Department of Education PIN number. You should have received your PIN in the U.S. mail after completing your FAFSA Application and being found eligible for financial aid.
