Direct Loan Master Promissory Note E-Signature Process

First-time Direct Loan borrowers (students and parents) must sign a Master Promissory Note before loan funds can be disbursed.

The Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) is available for completion online. The site is available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week EXCEPT Sundays, 5:00AM-11:00AM EST and Mondays, 12:01AM-7:00AM EST.

A FASFA PIN is required to complete this process. If you do not have a valid PIN, you must go to the Department of Education's PIN site at: http://www.pin.ed.gov.

It is important that you complete the process as soon as possible if you wish to receive your Federal Direct Student Loan. Your loan WILL NOT DISBURSE until all electronic documents are approved by the Financial Aid Office. A delay in completing this process will delay payment to your student billing account. Once you have successfully e-signed the promissory note, your loan will be disbursed within five days to your student billing account as scheduled by the Financial Aid System (ISIS).

The Federal Perkins LoanPromissory Note can be accessed and completed online.

Your FASFA PIN is required to complete this process. If you do not have a valid PIN, you must go to the Department of Education's PIN site at: http://www.pin.ed.gov.

The procedure for accepting the loan and completing the promissory note is as follows:

  1. You must accept your loan either by returning the signed award notice that was sent to you, or by logging directly into ISIS and marking your Perkins Loan as accepted.

  3. You must select JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY as the school you are attending
  4. Provide your Social Security Number, last name, and date of birth

  6. Most pages require that you accept the terms by checking a box at the bottom of those pages
  7. You must provide complete reference information for yourself, next of kin and two additional references. Failure to complete all lines accurately will keep this loan from disbursing to your account.
  8. PROMISSORY NOTE: Read completely. Electronically sign at the bottom of the promissory note page. The electronic signature includes a check off box plus your full legal name.

It is important that you complete the process thoroughly and as soon as possible if you wish to receive the Federal Perkins Loan.

Once you have successfully e-signed the promissory note, your Federal Perkins Loan will pay to your student account ten days prior to the beginning of each semester (if your loan is for the full academic year).
