Loan Counseling
Students who borrow under a Federal Loan Program (Stafford, Perkins and Grad PLUS) for the first time at the university are required to complete Entrance Loan Counseling before their loan proceeds can be released.
If you are leaving the university (withdrawal or graduation), you must complete Exit Loan Counseling. Students completing a degree program at SNHU and have been accepted into the next level of degree work at SNHU (AA to BA/BS; BA/BS to Graduate studies) are still required to complete the appropriate exit loan counseling session.
