CONNORS STATE COLLEGE

Welcome to the new financial aid loan application process!  The financial aid office is excited to provide you with this service.  We continually strive to improve the financial aid process for our students and believe the on-line application is the best way to apply for your Stafford or Parent PLUS loan.

ON-LINE STAFFORD LOAN APPLICATION PROCESS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS PROCESS YOU MUST COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:      

1. RETURN YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARD NOTIFICATION IF YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED A STAFFORD SUBSIDIZED OR UNSUBSIDIZED LOAN.
2. COMPLETE Mapping-Your-Future ENTRANCE COUNSELING IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIME STUDENT AND/OR FIRST TIME BORROWER AT CONNORS STATE COLLEG. DON’T FORGET TO PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PREFERRED LENDER IN THE LENDER SECTION OF YOUR ENTRANCE COUNSELING.
3. PLEASE WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION FROM OGSLP (OKLAHOMA GURANTEED STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM) VERIFYING THAT YOUR STAFFORD LOAN HAS BEEN CERTIFIED BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR ON-LINE STAFFORD LOAN APPLICATION PROCESS.  IF YOU WERE NOT OFFERED A STAFFORD OR PLUS LOAN AND WANT TO APPLY, CONTACT THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THIS AWARD.

*****If you choose to reduce your Stafford Loan, you will need to notify the Financial Aid Office.  If you choose to cancel your Stafford Loan, check “decline” on your Financial Aid Award Notification and return to the financial aid office.

NOTE: The On-Line Loan Application is best viewed using Internet Explorer 4.0 and above.

You are now ready to complete your on-line loan application as follows:

Ó Select the “Begin On-Line Loan App” button below; if you are a first time user you must create a new
account OpenNet.

Ó After selecting the “create new account” link, the next page displays the OpenNet Terms of Service.  
You must click “I Accept” to proceed.

Ó Select “Begin On-Line Loan App” then click on “Complete Existing Application”.

Ó Select “Start the Application Process.”

Ó Next select New Federal Stafford MPN Application.

Ó Your MPN will have some information already entered. Please review all information and correct if necessary.

Ó You must provide two adult references with different United States addresses and your first reference should
be a parent (if living), legal guardian, or adult relative with whom you will always remain in contact.
All requested items must be complete including telephone number or your loan(s) will be delayed.

Ó Click on “Next Page” to continue or “Save for Later” if you choose to complete your application at a later time.

Ó The Review application information will be displayed, please review your information before selecting “Submit Application.”  Any errors or missing information will delay your loan payments (disbursements).

Ó After you select “Submit Application”, you will be given the option of signing your MPN with
an “Electronic Signature.”  Signing your MPN electronically eliminates the need to print and mail the
MPN and expedites the disbursement process.  Skip the next step if you will not be signing electronically.

Ó Select “E-Sign” to submit your electronic signature after reviewing and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions
of the promissory note (MPN).  Then select “Yes, I choose to complete the e-signature process” and enter
your last name, first name, and select “Next.”  If you have successfully completed your MPN on-line you will
see the message, “Thank you for applying on-line.”

Ó Should you choose not to sign electronically you may print the MPN by selecting “Yes” or select “No” to have the guarantee agency (OGSLP) mail a MPN to you.
