Please make sure you have been instructed to complete Stafford Online Student Loan Counseling and not Perkins Online Student Loan Counseling for your Perkins Loan.

It is a federal regulation that students complete a student loan entrance counseling session prior to obtaining a Federal Stafford student loan. The purpose of the session is to help you to understand your rights and obligations as a student loan borrower.
