Stafford Online Exit Interview Process
For your convenience the Stafford loan on line exit interview process is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week! Cal Poly asks that you complete your required Stafford loan exit interview during your last quarter. Completing it any sooner may not be as beneficial, as you are likely to forget some of the pertinent information.
What You Should Know About The Stafford Loan Online Exit Interview Process
Upon successful completion of the on line exit interview process the information you have provided will automatically be sent to the Stafford loan guarantor (EDFUND). EDFUND will notify Cal Poly of your exit interview completion. If you received a Stafford loan while attending a school other than Cal Poly, you may have a different loan guarantor. However, because the Stafford loan program is federally regulated the repayment information provided during the exit interview process applies to all Stafford loans - no matter who your Stafford loan lender or guarantor is.
If you have a Federal Perkins loan, or a campus-based (institutional) loan you must complete a separate exit interview for that loan type. For more information, see Student Loan Exit Interviews. If you aren't sure if you have one of these loan types, please contact your Exit Interview Counselor and inquire (include your full name and Cal Poly student ID number with all correspondence).
The exit interview process does not guarantee an address update will reach your lender. We recommend that you contact your lender within 10 days of leaving school to make sure that your address and phone number are current. If you need your Stafford loan lender information, please contact EDFUND at (800) 298-9490, or use the loan debt summary link provided below.
