SD Counseling Assn. Financial aid offices will have the ability to create a customized page for entrance and exit counseling. Schools will first be allowed to create customized entrance counseling pages. The second phase of this project will allow schools to create customized exit counseling pages. This customization option will allow a higher quality of service by providing important school-specific information to students.
Schools can remind students of important dates, disbursement procedures, refund policies, etc.
This page can be updated as often as desired by the school. The custom school page will be the first page the students could see prior to starting the counseling session. This page gives a school another chance to communicate vital information to students and allows the school to be more involved in the entire online counseling process. EAC will provide updated information on procedures schools need to follow to use the customization feature. Again EAC student loan borrowers continue to demonstrate one of the lowest student loan default rates in the nation.
