ALL Students and/or Parents MUST complete a Direct Loan Electronic Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling in order to receive the Federal Stafford and Federal Parent Plus Loans.

Student and/or parents will be required to complete a NEW Master Promissory Note AND new borrowers are required to complete loan entrance counseling at the Federal Direct Loan website www.studentloans.gov which may cause a delay in receiving federal loan funds for the 2010-2011 academic year.
