Completing Your Promissory Note
A promissory note is the contract between you and your lender that sets the terms of the loan you are taking. It is very important that you carefully read through each promissory note before you sign so that you fully understand your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. A Master Promissory Note (MPN) is utilized for federal direct loans and is signed only once in a 10-year period for all subsequent federal direct loans.
Please note: any student offered a federal loan will need to accept or decline that loan before completing a promissory note.
