Mandatory Entrance Loan Counseling
First-time borrowers of Federal Direct Stafford and Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans at Bryan University are required to complete entrance loan counseling before loan funds can be disbursed. This is required per federal regulation and University policy, even if you previously borrowed loans at another college or university.
