If this is your first year borrowing federal loans at TU, then after you have submitted your FAFSA, received Your Award Notification and accepted your loan offers, you must complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN) for each different federal loan program that you borrow from.
If you exit the online MPN process before you complete the submission process, you will have to start over when you re-enter. Please have the following information ready before you begin the MPN process:
For your personal references, choose two persons with different addresses in the U.S. who have known you for at least three years. The first reference should be a parent or legal guardian if available. These are not cosigners or credit references. They will be used to help contact you if you fail to report a change of address. Choose persons that you expect to remain in contact with for many years.
If you have any questions, please contact the financial aid office.
All new borrowers must complete entrance counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN). You only have to complete these two steps the first time you borrow a loan.
To borrow a PLUS Loan, please follow these instructions:
Most PLUS loans borrowers don't have to complete PLUS counseling. PLUS counseling is only required if you have an adverse credit history. If you are required to complete it, visit PLUS Counseling.
Student borrowers must complete exit loan counseling when they graduate, stop attending the university, or drop below half-time enrollment. Before beginning your exit loan counseling session, you should have ready the names and addresses of two persons, each with a different address, who will know your whereabouts after you leave school (one can be a parent).
