What to do when no longer enrolled
Borrowers of Federal Student Loans who are no longer enrolled at least half-time at Ashland University must complete federally mandated exit counseling as soon as they cease enrollment. This is a federal regulation and applies to all students who have graduated, officially withdrawn, dropped below half-time enrollment, transferred to another institution, or simply ceased attendance at Ashland University. Students must complete exit counseling prior to graduation in order to receive their diploma.
