If I have already completed a Direct Loan E-MPN for another school, do I still need to complete one for Liberty University?

As long as you have been continuously enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours undergraduate; 3 credit hours graduate), you will not have to complete a new Direct Loan E-MPN. If you have had a break in your enrollment, however, a new E-MPN will be necessary. In either case, you still have to complete Entrance Counseling.

What if I cannot log in to complete the Entrance Counseling and E-MPN at www.studentloans.gov?

The U.S. Department of Education is working to expand browser compatibility, but until then, students must use Internet Explorer 6 or later, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later to complete their Entrance Counseling and E-MPN.
