Entrance Counseling

If you are borrowing a federal loan for the first time, you are required to complete an entrance counseling session.  The counseling may be done online at http://www.dl.ed.gov

Master Promissory Notes

If this is your first Direct Loan, your Master Promissory Note (MPN) will be available at http://www.dlenote.ed.gov within a week after you accept the loan. You will need your FAFSA PIN.  Results will be sent electronically to New River CTC. If you want to sign a paper version of your master promissory note, contact our office.  A valid MPN with references and valid signature must be completed before any loan funds will be disbursed to your account.

Financial Aid Refund Checks

Spring 2010 Semester

The first disbursement of Financial Aid Refund Checks will be available on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at the Beckley, Greenbrier, and Summersville campuses.

Starting the following week, Financial Aid Refund Checks will be available each Thursday at Beckley, Greenbrier and Summersville campuses, for students whose files were recently completed.

Checks not picked up will be mailed to students at local mailing addresses Friday mornings.  Please be sure your mailing information is current.

All charges will be deducted from refunds, including any Virtual Bookstore charges, before the refund is issued.  No ‘bookstore allowance’ will be automatically withheld from your refund if you do not choose to use the online bookstore.

You must be enrolled at least half-time (six hours or more) to be eligible for loans and full time for some grants, such as WV Grant and Promise.  Enrollment will be checked prior to checks being available and financial aid recalculated based on new enrollment information through the end of the add/drop period on January 25, 2010.  You may owe money back to New River CTC if you reduce your enrolled hours after a refund check is issued.

Please contact the Financial Aid Offices at 1-304-929-5473 OR 1-304-883-2428 if you have questions.
