Section 685.301 and 685.304 – Entrance Counseling for Graduate/Professional PLUS Borrowers
The proposed changes to §§685.301 and 685.304 would require institutions to provide entrance counseling to students as a part of the process for certifying a Direct Loan Grad/PLUS loan. Institutions have automated the loan counseling process to a high degree, therefore the burden increase to the institution is small.
