Online Exit Interviews
Once a student either graduates or drops below half-time enrollment status, an online exit interview must be completed, according to regulations governing student loans. During the online session, you will receive information regarding your loans and the repayment terms. You will also receive information concerning loan consolidation—which loans you can consolidate and which you cannot. WPI's school code is Y8. Get started…
Forms for Cancellations, Deferments, and Forbearances
WPI does not have school-specific forms, so please use the ECSI general forms.
Form 1098-E
Every January, ECSI mails to all borrowers who paid more than $600.00 in student loan interest an IRS Form 1098-E to report the amount of student loan interest paid on your Perkins and Institutional Loans during the prior tax year. If you paid interest but it was less than $600.00, please visit your account on the ECSI website. This interest may be tax deductible. Please seek guidance from your tax advisor or the IRS. WPI and ECSI do not provide tax advice.
