Entrance Counseling
Welcome to the St. Gregory's University Stafford entrance counseling session. Entrance counseling is required by federal regulation to help you understand your loan rights and responsibilities. You will not be able to receive your Stafford loan disbursement until the entrance counseling is completed.
Please note students must be enrolled at least half time in order to receive any Federal Stafford Subsidized or Unsubsidized loan disbursement.
Half time enrollment is 6 hours for undergraduate students and 5 hours for graduate students.
Summer half time enrollment is 6 hours for undergraduate students and 5 hours for graduate students.
If you need to withdraw from all classes before the close of a semester or summer session, you must report to the Registrar’s Office for a "withdrawal" form and complete the required steps including obtaining all required signatures and taking the form to the Registrar’s office for completion.
Our office will receive electronic notification that you have successfully completed entrance loan counseling and will notate your financial aid record accordingly. If you have any questions after completing this session, please contact our office at 405.878-5412.
If you are enrolled in College for Working Adults please call 405.878-5214.

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.
