The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document in which you promise to repay your loan(s) and accrued interest and/or fees to the U.S. Department of Education. The MPN also explains the terms and conditions of your loan(s).
Entrance counseling ensures that you understand the terms and conditions of your loan and your rights and responsibilities. You’ll learn what a loan is, how interest works, your options for repayment, and how to avoid delinquency and default.
When you’re finished, a record of your completion will be sent to the schools you selected, and you can then receive your loan money. Keep in mind that you cannot save and leave an incomplete session; you must complete entrance counseling in one sitting.
