Grad PLUS Entrance Counseling

University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH


Welcome to the University of New Hampshire's online Graduate PLUS Loan Entrance Counseling.

 

As part of the agreement with the U.S. Department of Education under which students are eligible to receive assistance through the various federal student financial programs, we are required [CFR 682.604(f)] to conduct “Entrance Counseling Sessions” with students who have been awarded these loans.



You must remain enrolled at least half-time to maintain eligibility for Federal Student Loans.  Half-time at the University of New Hampshire is defined as 6 credits for an undergraduate and 5 credits for a graduate student.

Please contact the UNH Registrar's Office http://unhinfo.unh.edu/registrar/faq/withdrawal.html for instructions for withdrawing from the University of New Hampshire.

You can access basic loan information through the NSLDS web site at http://www.nslds.ed.gov/.

It is also important for you to understand the average loan debt for students graduating from the University of New Hampshire.  See below.

    • You must use at least Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0. Get a browser now.
    • You can use any Internet service provider (ISP) to connect to the Internet; however, you should access this counseling session using one of the browsers above after you've connected. Do NOT use the ISP's browser, such as AOL or MSN--you won't be able to complete the student form at the end of the session!
    • You must enable JavaScript in your browser.

  • You will need about 25 minutes to complete this counseling session.

  • You will need the following information:

    • Names, addresses, telephone numbers, and employers for two references residing at different addresses
    • NOTE: Providing names and information for your spouse, parent, next of kin, and references does not obligate them to assist with repayment of your loan. Regulations require you provide this data so your loan holder can locate you, if, in the future, they have an invalid address or phone number.
