Financial Aid and Loans

<p>Today, I received an email telling me that if I want my Perkins Loan to pay, I must complete a loan counseling session and a loan master promissory note. However, it does not mention when I have to accept this loan by and complete all of these requirements to receive it. Can anyone who previously took out this loan provide some guidance? Thanks</p>

<p>My son has this loan. Do this right away. It’s very easy to do and only takes about 15 minutes total. You can do all of it on StudentLoans.gov</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I will need this loan or not and theres no mentioning of any deadlines. What should I do? Are there any deadlines?</p>

<p>I’m not sure what the deadline is to accept it. I would call financial aid and ask them directly. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.</p>

<p>That’s alright :slight_smile: I appreciate your help thus far. But does anyone else have an answer?</p>

<p>Also, how do we confirm Berkeley received those two loan requirements? (Counseling and MPN)</p>

<p>Anyone have an answer as to when we have to accept the loan and fulfill the requirements?</p>

<p>Is there any easy way to confirm that the MPN got through to berkeley?</p>

<p>Did you get the confirmation email from the Department of Education? On that, it says the MPN will be forwarded to Berkeley within 24 hours.</p>

<p>Ah yea, I got that, thanks</p>
