It's very important to instill the concept of the rights and responsibilities to a student borrower. Communication is the KEY. Making sure to convey the message in a language/term that students can easily understand.
Effective borrower education is more than just entrance and exit counseling. We should use every contact with students as an opportunity to review their rights and responsibilities.
It's important for students to understand their rights and responsibilities. Communicating with students along the way, educating them on financial aid by reminding them that there are options in repaying loans as well as postponing payments if needed.
Exit Counseling is Equally Important to Entrance Counseling. A lot of hte information is repetitive and thus successfully providing the same information to the student is vital to them actually owning the information.
Entrance and Exit Counseling are opportunities to educate students of their rights as borrowers and the responsibility of loan repayment. One should be wary of overloading the student with information and instead should ensure concise sessions with relevant information that can be digested by the student.
Entrance counseling is a great way to educate the students on financial aid. There are great tips here on how not to overwhelm the students by making the meetings as short as 5 to 10 minutes. It is so important to cover the rights and responsibilities and they should be repeated throughout the education process. It is still a good ides to provide the information in writing.
Entrance and exit counseling sessions are critical for educating students on loan repayment options and responsibilities. It’s vital to differentiate between deferment and forbearance and ensure that all information is conveyed in an accessible manner. Additionally, each interaction with students should be seen as an opportunity to reinforce this knowledge, helping to prevent default and support their financial success.
