<p>so a few months ago when the efan came out i only accepted student loans and put parent plus loan as undecided. How do i accept the parent plus loan now and receive the funds for that?</p>
<p>You have to request a new eFan (there's a button somewhere after you log-in to the website that allows you to generate a new one).</p>
<p>yeah like i did that about 5 days ago. How long does it take to genenrate a new efan? and where do i go to view it? its teh same place right?</p>
<p>Yes, it is the same place. I'm guessing you'll receive it in 1-2 days since it's been a 3-day weekend. It took me just a couple of business days to receive mine. Remember to follow the directions for <a href="http://opennet.salliemae.com%5B/url%5D">http://opennet.salliemae.com</a> as well for PLUS/Stafford loans.</p>
<p>its not too late to apply for the federal parent PLUS loan right? and second question, once i accept it on myfao, will it be pretty much self explanatory on salliemae?</p>
<p>No, it's not too late to accept loans though do it ASAP. Once you accept it on MyFAO, you will be required to visit <a href="http://opennet.salliemae.com%5B/url%5D">http://opennet.salliemae.com</a> or call them by the provided phone # on your MyFAO. You create accounts on the aforementioned site for your student loans (your name) and your PLUS loans (parent's name). You submit your MPNs. If you're choosing preferred lenders... just read my</a> other post.</p>
<p>i tried applying a parent plus loan using my salliemae account. I guess it has to be with my parent's account in order for them to apply for the loan?</p>
<p>Yes, it has to be with your parent's account (so just create another one for your 'rent). (So now there are two accounts managing your loans.)</p>
<p>yes make a seperate account for your parents</p>
<p>ok thank you for your helps.</p>
<p>wait one more question, can i apply for the parent plus loan without accepting it from myfao?</p>
<p>where is the button to create a new efan? I cannnot find it!</p>
<p>i accepted my eFAN on monday, as well as a Stafford loan, and i got another email from the finaid office today saying that i have a NEW eFAN? i thought i already accepted it? or do i have to accept it twice?</p>
<p>bfired2: they might have modified something...it happened to me and I got my scholarship reduced by a grand :(</p>
<p>Okay, I had the same question and called. </p>
<p>Whenever you're sent a new eFAN, it's the most correct. (If there is anything you want to be modified, just call them.) Anyway, they told me to go and accept it.</p>
<p>Well, I looked it over and noticed that they reduced my parent's PLUS loans by 1000 because I reported a 1000 outside scholarship. Could that be it?</p>
<p>yea probably</p>
<p>Fin aid office is horrible. I accepted my efan in August, but "aid available to pay fees" is still a big ZERO. I called fin aid office today and the guy said I haven't accepted my efan. Horrible.</p>
<p>i dont think fin aid shows under "aid available to pay fees" until sept. 18th.</p>
<p>Well, it shows my grants/scholarships for "aid available to pay fees" - the rest of the stuff (loans) doesn't appear yet for me.</p>
