How to complete federal requirements for Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans.
- Go to http://studentaid.gov and click “Sign In” - Use your FSA ID to sign in
- All borrowers are required to complete both Loan Counseling and a Loan Agreement for their Federal Direct Loans.
- Select “Complete Loan Counseling”
- Complete “Entrance Counseling” by clicking start.
- Select “Loan Agreement”
- Select the appropriate Master Promissory Note (MPN) for your type of loan.
Once this is complete, you will get an e-mail confirmation from Direct Loans - make sure that all steps have been completed. If you receive the confirmation e-mail, you do not need to check with SJU on the status of the loan.
