Federal Direct Loans

Students must first have completed and submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the resulting needs analysis must be on file before a student’s loan application can be certified. Master Promissory Notes for Federal Direct Loans are available online on the United States Department of Education webpage at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action. Students need their ED PIN to sign both the MPN and the Entrance Interview. All students expecting to receive a loan must complete an Entrance Interview. It is also a requirement that all borrowers have an Exit Interview at the time of graduation or withdrawal. It is the responsibility of the students to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid when they are graduating or withdrawing so they may complete their Exit Interview. The Registrar’s Office will not release final transcripts or diplomas until students complete this process.

When completing the Master Promissory Note, students should keep in mind that this request is for a loan that must be paid back.
