We would like to welcome the students who are beginning their studies at Northeastern University this spring semester. As you get settled in, start your classes, and learn your way around campus, you may be wondering if there is anything else you need to do to ensure your student account is in order. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that there are three documents you need to complete before your financial aid can disburse to your account.
The three documents are:
- Federal Loan Entrance Interview
- Master Promissory Notes (MPN) for the Federal Direct Stafford Loans
- Student Title IV Credit Authorization form
All these forms can be easily completed online and will not take you more than 30 minutes.
You can complete both the Federal Loan Entrance Interview and the MPN for the Direct Stafford Loans at www.studentloans.gov. You will have to log in by using your (student) FAFSA PIN number. (If you have forgotten or lost your FAFSA PIN number, you can go to www.pin.ed.gov and request a duplicate.)
- To complete the Federal Loan Entrance Interview, you should click on “Complete Entrance Interview.” You can then follow the steps for registration.
- For the Stafford loan MPNs, click on “Complete Master Promissory Note” from the main menu and then “subsidized/unsubsidized” and follow the steps until completion.
- The Student Title IV Credit Authorization form can be found on your myNEU student portal under the Self Services tab. This document will ask you two questions regarding the federal funding that disburses to your account.
