Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Loans

There are three steps in applying for Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Loans: 1. Entrance Loan Counseling, 2. Master Promissory Note, and 3. Loan Request Form.

• Complete Entrance Loan Counseling at the Federal Student Aid website here. After logging in, follow the navigation path for undergraduate, Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan – NOT PLUS loan. We recommend you print all disclosures, including the Borrower Rights and Responsibilities, and keep for your records. When you have completed the Entrance Counseling, do NOT logout!  At the bottom the Entrance Loan Counseling page is a box titled “Next Step,” click on “Complete Master Promissory Note.” You don’t need to submit anything to the Financial Aid Office because the website will notify the Financial Aid Office for you.
• Complete the Master Promissory Note here. Staying on the same page that you ended your Entrance Counseling on, in the “Next Step” box at the bottom of that page, click on “Complete Master Promissory Note.” Then, to the right of “MPN for Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans” click “LOGIN IN START.” We recommend you print the Borrower Rights and Responsibilities and keep for your records. Again, the website will notify the Financial Aid Office that you have completed the Master Promissory Note.
• Complete the online Loan Request Form on your eServices account here. Once logged in to your student account, use the menu of the upper left side of the screen. Click on ‘Financial Aid” and then “Loans.” Once you are on the Loan Application screen, the amount displayed is the “Full Time” amount. If you are taking less than 12 credits, please retrieve your accurate loan amount using the “To see your eligibility at all enrollment levels” link. If the loan amount or loan period (the terms during the school year you want the loan for, i.e. Fall term only, or both Fall and Spring) are incorrect, make the changes and Continue.

The following forms are provided if you prefer to complete a paper Loan Request Form:
