Complete the form below for the appropriate year based on your federal loan type.

• Accept your loans in Self Service.
• Direct Parent PLUS Loan borrowers – complete the Direct Parent Plus Loan Application. The borrower of the PLUS is your PARENT and requires credit approval. Additional steps are required for all borrowers and will be available June 1.
  
• Graduate Students – complete the Direct Grad Plus Application.

Before you can receive funds from your Direct Student Loan, it is very important that you know and understand your rights and responsibilities as a student borrower. You must complete a counseling session required by federal regulation.

This step is required for the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Student Loans and for the Graduate PLUS loan. It is not required for the Parent PLUS loan.

You do not have to wait to complete this requirement, and we strongly encourage you to complete this requirement as soon as possible to avoid disbursement delays.
