First Time Federal Loan Borrowers

All first time borrowers of federal loans must complete an online entrance interview counseling session.

First time borrowers of Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans will also be required to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). Students can complete their MPN now.

All first time borrowers of the Federal Direct GradPlus Loan will be required to complete an online entrance interview counseling session. First time borrowers must complete a GradPlus Master Promissory Note (MPN). Because a credit check is required before this loan is approved, the Master Promissory Note is not completed until verification of the loan has been guaranteed and approval is received. Both the student and the Financial Aid Office are notified of the student’s status.

No loan funds will be released for any of the above loan funds until all required information and promissory note confirmations have been received.
