Entrance Counseling:

Have you been awarded a Stafford Loan or a Grad PLUS Loan? If so, the Department of Education requires that you complete entrance counseling before College of Saint Mary can process your loans. If you do not complete the entrance counseling your loans will not be disbursed onto your student account and you will need to make payment arrangements for the balance on your student account.

The process is very simple and will take you only about 30 minutes to complete. Click on the link below and complete the online entrance counseling. CSM will receive an electronic confirmation once you have completed the process.

If you do not complete the exit counseling, a “Hold” will be placed on your student account. A “Hold” may result in you not being able to view grades, register, obtain transcripts or diplomas, or participate in graduation.
