Exit Interview
A student who has borrowed a Federal Perkins Loan must have an exit interview before leaving Hampden-Sydney or in the event they register less than half time (less than six credit hours).
Default
If you fail to make a scheduled payment when due, the school can declare your Federal Perkins Loan to be in default. You must submit a deferment and/or forbearance request on or before the due date of your scheduled payment. If you default on a Federal Perkins Loan and the school is unable to collect, it will harm your credit rating and the federal government may take action to recover the loan. You cannot receive further financial aid if you are in default.
