Exit Interviews

Upon graduating, dropping below half-time status, or withdrawing from the university you are required to complete an exit interview.  A packet will be mailed to you either prior to graduation or after the Perkins Loan Department is notified that you have dropped below half-time status or have withdrawn from the university.  Your packet will contain a copy of your repayment schedule.  The repayment schedule will detail the amount borrowed through the Perkins Loan program, your monthly repayment amount, and the date repayments are scheduled to begin.  Also, enclosed will be a copy of your promissory note, a Request for Deferment or Partial Cancellation of Loan form, and information concerning loan consolidation.

Once you have received this information, you should complete your exit interview counseling session.  A hold will be placed on your Louisiana Tech University records until the Perkins Loan Department receives notification from Mapping Your Future that your exit interview counseling session has been completed.  A hold on your Louisiana Tech University records will prevent you from re-enrolling at Louisiana Tech University or obtaining an official copy of your transcript.  Click on the link below to begin your counseling session.
