Direct Loan Entrance Counseling

State Fair Community College in Sedalia, MO


Thank you for taking the time to complete entrance counseling for your Stafford Loan. 

We hope this explains what your responsiblities are in regards to your loan.  If you have any questions please drop by the Financial Aid Office (Hopkins Building, Room 736) or give us a call at 660-530-5834.  

 Please remember the following:

1. All students borrowing federal student loans to attend State Fair Community College (SFCC) are required to complete entrance counseling each academic year they apply for a student loan.

 

2. Transfer students with prior Stafford loans must also complete entrance counseling each year.   

 

3. Complete your SFCC Student Loan Application and return it to the SFCC Financial Aid Office. Please ensure you answer all questions on the SFCC Student Loan Application.

4. Print the entrance counseling confirmation page and return it to the SFCC Financial Aid Office.

5. Your loan funds will not be sent to the college if MOHELA has not received your completed and signed MPN.

NOTE: You may pick up a Master Promissory Note from the Financial Aid Office if you would rather complete the paper version. 

6. The definition of half-time enrollment is six credit hours.  If you choose to withdraw, you must contact the Registrar's Office.  The Registrar's Office is located in the Hopkins Building.

7. You will need to complete an Exit Counseling session when you graduate, withdraw, or cease to attend school on at least a half time basis. When that time comes, you may complete your Exit Counseling using this web site.

 If you have questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (660) 530-5834 or come by the office located in the Hopkins Building, Room 736 next to the Information Booth.

Thanks for your help in this process and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Instructions

Before You Start

  • Ensure you meet the browser and system requirements:
    • 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.

  • PARENTS: Please don't complete the counseling session on behalf of your son or daughter, as this federal requirement helps the student understand the rights and responsibilities of borrowing a student loan.

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

  • You will need the following information:
    • Your Social Security number
    • Your driver's license number

  • You might need the following information:
    • Name, address, telephone number, and employer for your spouse, if applicable
    • Names, addresses, telephone numbers, and employers for your next of kin and/or parent
    • 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.

  • The student loan calculator in this session will help you calculate your estimated monthly payment. If you aren't sure how much you'll borrow, you can ask your school for the average student loan indebtedness of borrowers at the school or in your program of study at the school.

What to Do

  • Read the content and answer the questions.
  • Fill out the student information form. Use the comment box for any comments or questions you have for your school.
