If you are awarded a Stafford Loan, then the MPN (Master Promissory Note) and entrance counseling should be completed before you arrive on campus. If you are awarded a Perkins Loan, the Business Office will send a notice to your campus mailbox to report to the office to sign the Perkins MPN and complete the entrance counseling.
When should my parents apply for a parent loan?
After you receive your financial aid award letter, one of your parents can apply for the PLUS (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) Loan before you arrive on campus.
Are federal work study earnings (if awarded) applied to my Business Office account?
No, payroll checks are distributed every three or four weeks through campus mail and the money may be used for personal expenses or toward charges for next semester. The payment schedule and time sheets can be obtained in the Business Office.
