Per Federal regulations, borrowers of Federal Student Loans must complete Federal Exit Loan Counseling during their final semester of enrollment, even if the student is not borrowing Federal Student Loans in that semester. Exit Loan Counseling is also mandatory even if the student plans to continue their education at Hawkeye or at another college or university.
If you have borrowed a Federal Direct Loan while attending Hawkeye, you will need to complete an Exit Loan Counseling session:
- For each certificate or diploma you earn.
- Before you graduate.
- If you withdraw from Hawkeye.
- If you are enrolled in less than six credit hours.
Please allow 3–4 business days for processing.
You will not be able to receive an official copy of your Hawkeye transcript or your diploma until you complete the Exit Loan Counseling.
