Financial Aid Exit Counseling
If you borrowed federal student loans while attending Southwestern, you will need to complete exit counseling for your loans. This guide will walk you through what to expect for repayment and even show you how you can set up a payment plan as well. Feel free to reach out to the Financial Aid office if you have any questions about the counseling.
Concerned about paying your student loans now that you are finishing school? Make an appointment with the Financial Aid office to see a personalized loan analysis. We will create an analysis based specifically on your borrowing and the trends for the degree that you completed. We can show you where you stand and what to expect for standard repayment as well as guide you through your options.
