Entrance Counseling Requirements for Loan Recipients

Online Student Loan Entrance Counseling

You have been directed to this webpage to complete required student loan counseling. We are unable to release funds until online entrance counseling is complete.

Please read the following before clicking the student loan entrance counseling link below:
 

Direct, Grad PLUS, Perkins and University Loan (also referred to as an institutional loan) recipients need only complete loan entrance counseling once while at UCSF.

Health Professions Loan, Disadvantaged Student Loan, Nursing Student Loan and Nurse Faculty Loan (also referred to as an institutional loan) recipients must complete loan entrance counseling each school year a loan of this kind is accepted. The result is possibly being asked to complete the same loan entrance counseling more than once while enrolled at UCSF.

If you are on disbursement hold for two loan entrance counseling sessions, you need only complete the online counseling once to satisfy both disbursement holds.

Allow 15-20 minutes to complete the counseling.

Be prepared to list the addresses and phone numbers for three references.

When prompted, select loan type(s) based on accepted awards this school year.  For the Nurse Faculty and University loan programs, select 'Institutional Loan(s)'.

Student Financial Aid will receive electronic confirmation once you complete this requirement.
