Graduating Students

The Financial Aid Office wants to congratulate you first on completing your degree.  A Federal Loan exit interview is required by federal mandate when leaving the school or enrolling less than half-time. You can complete the online exit interview at: StudentAid.gov, simply sign In and complete Exit Counseling for HSC (009768).

Student Loan Data

Your loan history can be viewed on-line on the StudentAid.gov site. In addition, you can access your loan holder by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID.

Federal Student Aid (FSA) Ombudsman’s office

The Ombudsman’s office is a resource for you to use when other approaches to resolving your student loan problems have failed. You should first attempt to resolve complaints by contacting the school, company, agency, or office directly involved. If you have made a reasonable effort to resolve the problem through normal processes and have not been successful, you can contact the FSA Ombudsman.
