- Terms of Loan Received by a Student: Students learn about their loan during entrance loan counseling and when completing the Master Promissory Note. This information is also available online. Students may also contact their loan servicer or the Springfield College Office of Financial Aid for information about their loans.
- Terms and Conditions of Direct Loans: Your Master Promissory Note (MPN) and your Loan Disclosure Statement will provide you with the terms and conditions of your Direct loan. The MPN is a legal document in which you promise to repay your loan and any accrued interest and fees to your lender. It explains the terms and conditions of your loan, for example, the loan repayment requirements, and the types of deferment and cancellation provisions available to you. The MPN also explains your rights and responsibilities as a loan borrower. After your loan is originated through the U.S. Department of Education, you will receive your Loan Disclosure Statement, which gives you specific information about that loan, including the loan amount, loan fees, and the expected disbursement dates and amounts. This information is also available online.
- Repayment plan options: An explanation of the various repayment plans available for Direct loans. Students will receive personalized information during an exit loan counseling session including the amount of total debt, when payment begins, what plans are available, etc.
