Master Promissory Note (MPN)

Additional loan documents student might receive upon approval:

Notice to Co-Borrower

If the student has a co-borrower on their application, they will also receive this document. It details what being a co-borrower entails, including having their credit pulled and being responsible for the loan should the student be unable to make payments. Carefully reviewing the Notice to Co-Borrower ensures they make a fully informed decision.

Self Certification

Depending on the type of loan product, students might also receive a self certification. On here, they will certify the cost of their program, the financial assistance they are receiving, and the difference between the two.

Every application will receive upon loan finalization:

Final Truth in Lending Disclosure (FTIL)

Applications that are not approved for the requested loan and amount will receive:

Adverse Action Notice (AAN)
