The Financial Aid Office is required to inform students
receiving federal funds about the rights and responsibilities of students prior
to disbursement of federal aid. Students are informed of this information at
the time they complete an Entrance Interview. The Entrance Interview can be
completed during Orientation Week or online at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/.
Federal regulations require that students with loans complete an Exit Interview
prior to graduation or if their registration drops to less than half time (see section
VII
in GSAS Rules and Regulations). The Exit Interview can also be completed online
at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/.
