Introduction
If you are a UCLA student or UCLA UNEX student who while attending has borrowed from:

- graduate/separate
- enroll below half-time (under 6 units for undergraduates; under 4 units for graduates)

Federal regulations and UCLA require that you complete the UCLA Exit Interview/Counseling Process.
