Complete Two Steps to Accept a Federal Direct Loan

All federal loans are processed through the Federal Direct Loan Program.
Students who have never borrowed Federal Direct Loans also need to complete:

 

Loan Entrance Counseling – Loan Entrance Counseling details your rights and responsibilities relating to your student loan and must be completed before funds are dispersed.

 

Master Promissory Note (MPN) – Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal agreement that is valid for ten years and is signed by the borrower. It is considered a multi-year promissory note, meaning once signed, you do not need to sign another note for future Federal Direct Loans.

By signing the MPN, your Federal Direct Loan will be guaranteed, and you will be sent a notice of disclosure. Be sure to verify the amount you have borrowed and retain the Notice of Disclosure for your records. This note must be signed before funds are dispersed.
