Complete the Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN)
Master Promissory Note (MPN)
The MPN is a promissory note that can be used to make one or more loans for one or more academic
years (up to 10 years). A separate MPN is required for Direct Stafford loans and Parent PLUS loans.
Undergraduate Direct Stafford subsidized and unsubsidized borrowers under the Direct Loan
Program will sign one promissory note, which can be used for all of that program’s loans over multiple
academic years.
Parent PLUS loan borrowers can only take out this loan on a dependent undergraduate student's
behalf. This loan is contingent upon an approved credit check.
All Direct Loan Master Promissory notes can be accessed and e-signed. An electronic MPN can be
completed. Read the information below to understand how the electronic MPN process works. We
estimate that it will take 30 minutes to complete the electronic MPN process. Make sure you allow
enough time to complete the entire process in a single session. If you exit the website before
submitting your signed MPN and return later, you will have to start over beginning with Step 1.

Master Promissory Note (MPN) at: www.studentloans.gov.
