Exit Counseling

Federal regulations mandate that all exiting students, due to graduation or withdrawal from the University, who have received any type of federal loan complete exit counseling. TAMIU requires students to attend an exit counseling session in person to fulfill the requirement. Students who do not attend will have a hold placed on all records and will not be allowed to receive their diploma or academic transcript. Students dropping below half-time enrollment (6 hours) must attend an exit counseling session as well if they received any type of federal government loan at TAMIU.
