Financial Aid Exit Interview
If you were the recipient of a Stafford educational loan while
at UWSP, you will be sent an email message that links you to an
on-line exit loan counseling presentation. You will be given
information about the repayment process and linked to your own
personal loan history. You will learn what is expected of you
and what options are available to you as you make plans to meet
your loan obligation. When you finish viewing the presentation,
you will be asked to provide contact information that will be
sent to the institution which services your loan. It is a
federal requirement that all Stafford loan borrowers go through
this exit counseling process.
If you were the recipient of a Perkins loan from UW-Stevens
Point, you will be contacted by the Perkins Loan Office to set
up your loan repayment schedule. |
Graduation Day: What to do, what to expect
Candidates for graduation
should report to the Multi-Activity Center (MAC)
in the Health Enhancement Center (HEC) at least one hour
prior to the ceremony in which they will be participating.
You will be greeted by student and staff volunteers (such as
those pictured left.)
When you
arrive at the MAC, please complete a name card (you will
carry this with you into the ceremony). After you have
completed your card, find your place in the graduate line.
Graduates line up by college and degree in alphabetical
order. Signs will be posted to help you find your place. (If
your name is not on the list, please locate yourself where
you would be standing alphabetically if it were there.)
About 15 minutes before the
ceremony, a student marshal will lead
you from the MAC to the Quandt Fieldhouse. After our
keynote speaker and student speaker have completed their
presentations, the dean of your college will ask graduates
in your college to stand. The chancellor will make a
conferral statement. You will then be seated until you are
released by row to take the stage and receive your diploma
cover.
After receiving your
diploma cover, please return to your seat.

leaving their seats to take photographs.
