Step 2

Direct Loan and Direct PLUS Combined Entrance Counseling

American University of the Caribbean in St. Maarten,

Welcome to the American University of the Caribbean's online Stafford and Grad PLUS Loan entrance counseling session. Federal regulation requires students who borrow a student loan to complete entrance counseling. At the end of the counseling session you will receive a confirmation. Your results will be sent to the AUC Financial Aid Department upon successful completion of the session. The entrance counseling, in addition to required documents mailed to you in the Financial Aid packet, must be fully completed before your student loans will be certified.

The average Stafford loan indebtedness for American University of the Caribbean graduates in 2007 was $102,500.

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.
You will need about 30 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.
