Direct Loan Entrance Counseling
Students must complete the Entrance Counseling requirement before Direct Loan funds can be disbursed. Student loan entrance counseling provides details about what a student loan is, advice on how much you should borrow, and when you should expect to repay your loans. After you complete the requirement and submit your information, Direct Loans will notify our office electronically within 24-48 hours that you have completed the requirement.
Esign Direct Loan MPN
All students receiving a Direct Loan must E-sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN) prior to disbursement. Your FAFSA PIN is required in order to E-sign.
Direct Loan Exit Counseling
During the term that you expect to graduate and/or if you drop below half time enrollment, you will be asked to complete an Exit Interview if you have had a Stafford or Direct student loan while at AU. Your FAFSA PIN is required in order to complete Direct Loan Exit Counseling. It is very important to notify your lender(s) of address changes so that you will receive your repayment information when your grace period ends.
