Master Promissory Note
STUDENT MPN
In response to your acceptance of a Federal Direct Student Loan, we provide the following information to expedite your student loan application.
Review each section before moving to the next.
Your Student Loan Decision
You have accepted a Federal Direct Student Loan. You are required to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Loan Entrance Counseling to finalize your loan acceptance.
A Notice of Loan Disclosure will be sent to you outlining the type of loan, the amount of loan, and the anticipated disbursement dates associated with your MPN. Anytime you or UNLV adjusts the amount of your loan, a new disclosure will be sent to you. We strongly encourage you to keep for your records all disclosure statements.
There is no loan amount shown on your Online Master Promissory Note. By electronically signing the MPN, you are authorizing UNLV to credit your tuition account with the amount of Federal Direct Loan funds you accepted on your Award Confirmation or another written statement. Please refer to your Award Confirmation and other documents you have on record for the amount you are borrowing.
You have a strong influence over the amount you borrow. You may elect to reduce or cancel the amount of loan you want to borrow by completing an Award Revision Form, available at Student Financial Services. You may also fax or deliver a signed statement to reduce or cancel your student loan amount.
Your Preparation
To simplify your UNLV Federal Student Loan process, gather the required documents and other information before proceeding. You will need your U.S. Department of Education PIN to confirm your identity. If you do not have a PIN, please visit the U.S. Department of Education's PIN site to obtain one.
To complete your MPN online, you will be asked to provide your full legal name, address, school name, and Social Security number. Additional information will include your permanent address, driver's license number and state, e-mail address (if you have one), and telephone number. You will also be asked to provide the names, complete addresses, and telephone numbers of two references who have known you for at least three years. One reference should be a parent or legal guardian. UNLV's Federal School Code is 002569.
