Student Loan Counseling Resources
In collaboration with the Council for Student Financial Success in Higher Education (Council), TG has developed student loan counseling resources for financial aid administrators.
Entrance and Exit Student Loan Counseling
Federal regulations require that schools conduct entrance and exit counseling for student borrowers. While counseling may be provided electronically, in-person counseling can prove to be more effective in helping students retain information. The following entrance and exit counseling materials were developed to assist financial aid administrators in conducting in-person counseling sessions.
If you use these resources to provide entrance and/or exit counseling sessions to your student borrowers, remember that federal regulations require you to provide the name of the entity that developed and paid for any entrance or exit counseling materials to participants who attend such sessions.

Intermediate Student Loan Counseling
To ensure that student borrowers are continuously educated about their loan rights and responsibilities, TG and the Council developed additional resources. The additional modules are designed to reinforce concepts that were introduced at entrance counseling. Although not federally mandated, the modules are intended to serve as a refresher course for students who have previously attended entrance counseling. They include key concepts for student borrowers who are in their second year, third year or further into their program of study. The two modules include:
Know What You Owe: Tracking Your Student Loans
This training module emphasizes the importance of tracking student loans to achieve successful loan repayment.
Plan for Success: Preparing to Fulfill Your Student Loan Commitment
This training module provides a review of available repayment options and loan responsibilities for student loan borrowers.
