Master Promissory Note?
Before you receive a Direct Loan, you must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN).
The MPN is your agreement with the Federal Government to pay back the Federal Loans. It is good for a total of 10 years if it is used, 1 year if not used, and must be completed again if it expires.
The MPN can be completed by going to this link: https://studentaid.gov/mpn/
For undergraduates and graduates using Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan funding, please complete the MPN for Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans. This one can be found in the Undergraduate section, or chosen in the Graduate Section.
For Graduate students who have used up their Unsubsidized loan eligibility or want to use only Grad Plus loans, please log into the Graduate section and select the PLUS MPN.
When completing the MPN, they will ask you if you want to notify a school. Please search for Herzing in the state of Wisconsin under the city of Madison. The first campus that was approved to use Federal Aid was in Madison, Wisconsin. Because of this, any campus established after this will use the Madison campus as the parent campus.
