ECSI offers the following online services to help you manage your account:

Student Loan Exit Interview
Whenever a student is no longer enrolled as at least a half time student Creighton University is required by the federal government to conduct an exit interview for each of your loans. The exit interview is a loan counseling session where you are advised of your loan repayment schedule, obligations, and rights to deferment and/or cancellation.
A Student Loan Exit Hold is placed on each student account until the Student Loan Exit Interview has been completed. If you need to be sent your Exit Interview again, please contact us. This hold will prevent students from registering for future courses, ordering transcripts, and receiving a diploma.
