Step 1 PIN REGISTRATION - You will first be transferred to the U.S. Department of Education's PIN site to confirm your identity. If you do not have a PIN, please visit the U.S. Department of Education's PIN site to find out how to obtain one, or visit the school's financial aid office to complete a paper MPN.

Step 2 DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT - When you return to the electronic MPN web site, you will be asked to read information about using an electronic MPN and to tell us whether or not you agree to use an electronic MPN.

Step 3 PROVIDE NAME, STUDENT'S INFORMATION, AND SCHOOL (for Parent PLUS Loans) - You will be asked to provide your (parent’s) full legal name, the student's full legal name, the student's social security number, the student's date of birth, and school information. You will be able to review and modify this information if necessary before it is added to your electronic MPN.

Step 4 READ BORROWER'S RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT - You will be asked to read a Borrower's Rights and Responsibilities Statement that provides important information about the loan(s) you may receive under your MPN. Before you can continue with the electronic MPN process, you must confirm that you have read the Borrower's Rights and Responsibilities Statement.

Step 5 COMPLETE MPN - During this step, you will be asked to provide the remaining information necessary to complete your MPN. This will include your permanent address, driver's license number and state, email address (if you have one) and telephone number. You will also be asked to provide the names, addresses and telephone numbers of two references who have known you for at least three years .

Step 6 REVIEW DRAFT MPN - You will be asked to review a draft version of the MPN that will include the information you provided in Step 5. Before you can continue with the electronic MPN process, you must confirm that you have read the draft MPN.

Step 7 SIGN YOUR MPN - You will be asked to review the Promise to Pay section of the MPN and then electronically sign the MPN by typing in your full name. You will still have the opportunity at this point to modify the information you provided or to cancel the electronic MPN process.

Step 8 REVIEW SIGNED MPN/ENTER CONFIRMATION CODE - You will be shown a completed MPN that includes your electronic signature. Before you can continue with the electronic MPN process, you must confirm that you have read the completed MPN. To do this, you will find a 3-character Confirmation Code located at the bottom of your signed MPN. It will read, “Your MPN Confirmation code is ***.” Write the code here: __ __ __. You will need to enter this code after you finish reviewing your signed MPN and close the Adobe Acrobat Reader Window. You cannot complete the MPN process until you enter the MPN Confirmation code as requested.

Step 9 CONFIRM ACCEPTANCE OF MPN TERMS AND SUBMIT MPN - You will be asked to confirm that you agree to the terms and conditions of your MPN. You will also be given a final opportunity to cancel or modify your MPN.
