This web site is for completing a Direct Loan Program electronic Master Promissory Note (MPN) for student Subsidized, Unsubsidized and/or Graduate PLUS loans that you take out to pay for your own education, or for parent PLUS loans that you take out to pay for your child's education. If you do not want to complete the MPN electronically, you may complete it using the paper process. If you would like to complete a paper MPN, please contact the school's financial aid office.

You will be required to use your U.S. Department of Education issued PIN to complete an electronic MPN. For additional information or to ask general PIN questions, you can visit the official PIN site or access the PIN customer service web page.

PLEASE NOTE: Before you continue, you should turn off any pop-up blockers in your browser.

If you are using an assistive device, starting in step eight through step ten of the process you will have an alternative path that will allow you to view your electronic MPN/PLUS MPN in an HTML format versus the PDF document.
