Perkins Loans

Policies and procedures for Perkins Loans.

---

Any federal student loans borrowed are submitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for required reporting purposes. This information is accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and institutions determined to be authorized users of the data system. The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) provides information on your federal loan amounts, outstanding balances, loan statuses and disbursements. You can access your loan information by going to NSLDS online.

Entrance Counseling: Federal regulations require all first-time Perkins Loan borrowers to complete Perkins Loan Entrance Counseling before receiving the loan disbursement. Entrance counseling is a process that informs students about their rights and responsibility as loan borrowers.  You can complete entrance counseling by logging in to your Onliine Aid Services Account.  Once you are in your account, please click on the Forms tab.  You will want to locate the Perkins Loan Entrance Counseling documents. You will need to print this document and return the Perkins Loan Entrance Interview Confirmation page to the Financial Aid Office.
