June 2 - 12: 

Exit Counseling Sessions for Graduates

If you graduate, withdraw, or transfer, federal student loan exit counseling is required—and for good reason. It helps you understand your repayment options, interest rates, grace periods, and how to avoid default. Think of it as your financial roadmap before stepping into repayment. It's not just a checkbox—it's your chance to make informed money moves before the bills begin.

Tip: Log in to studentaid.gov to complete it when you hit any of those milestones.
