As a first-time federal student loan borrower, the government requires the student to sign in the the Federal Student Aid website using their FSA ID to:
Complete Entrance Counseling – a question/answer online session regarding the terms and conditions of federal student loans, how interest works and repayment information.
Sign an online Master Promissory Note – the promise to repay the loan, including any accrued interest, beginning 6 months after graduating or leaving college on a less than half-time basis.
Both requirements are located under the “Complete Aid Process” tab.
