New Borrower AlertHave you completed your Direct Stafford Entrance Counseling?Direct Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling is mandatory for all first time borrowers attending UAlbany. Please be aware Entrance Counseling is different than the Financial Awareness Counseling Tool (FACT). Completion of FACT does not satisfy Entrance Counseling requirements. You must complete Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov. Refer to your "to-do" items to determine if Entrance Counseling needs completion. Have you completed your Direct Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN)?
The Direct Stafford Loan MPN is mandatory for all first time Direct Loan borrowers attending UAlbany. The MPN is a legal document in which you promise to repay your loan(s) and any accrued interest and fees. The MPN explains the terms and conditions of your loan(s). Your MPN is valid for 10 years, so you will most likely need to complete this only once while attending UAlbany. The MPN must be completed at www.studentloans.gov. Refer to your "to-do" items to determine if the MPN needs completion. |
