Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan Borrowers
Signing Your Direct Loan Electronic Master Promissory Note (eMPN)
Parents who are borrowing a Federal Direct PLUS Loan for the first time and have already submitted a PLUS loan application to the Financial Aid Office must complete an eMPN once they have received credit approval. The eMPN needs to be signed only once; it is good for 10 years. However, you must submit a new PLUS application each year.
Please note that parents cannot sign their eMPN until they receive notification via email from the Financial Aid Office informing them of the web links to use. Do not try to complete these requirements before your email notification.
In order to sign your eMPN, please visit www.dlenote.ed.gov. Signing your eMPN is a 10-step process and will require at least 30 minutes to complete.
Please note: There is no need to submit a copy of your eMPN to the Financial Aid Office. We will receive electronic notice that the eMPN has been signed and is valid. At that time, your Federal Direct PLUS Loan will be scheduled for disbursement.
