Online Loan Counseling and Processing 

Counseling
Students who borrow under the Federal Direct Loan Program are required to complete counseling before receiving loan proceeds from their first loan and again shortly before graduating or otherwise leaving school.

You may select the appropriate counseling session by clicking on the graphic below. You will be asked to select Entrance Counseling or Exit Counseling. If you have recently applied for your first loan, click on "Entrance Counseling." If you are about to graduate or otherwise leave school, click on "Exit Counseling." If you have any questions as you complete the counseling requirements, you may contact the financial aid office at (207) 948-3131, Ext. 200 or click on the "E-mail a Question" button on the counseling pages.

 Processing
For students having a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, or parents having a Federal Direct Parent PLUS loan,  it is required that you complete a MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE.  This is your agreement to repay the loan funds and must be completed before any loan funds can be disbursed.  Please go to www.dlenote.ed.gov to complete the required MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE (MPN).
