We have been experiencing some SEVERE problems
with the septic system at the NTC. This is a “Friendly
Reminder” not to flush any personal hygiene products in the toilet (tampons, kotex, diapers, etc.).
These products are plugging up the septic system
and it is very expensive to repair.
Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.

Recent federal legislation has passed requiring the implementation of the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program for all institutions, effective July 1, 2010. With the Direct Loan Program, the
lender is the federal government, through the U. S. Department of
Education, rather than through banks and credit unions as with
the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP).
FREE FINANCIAL AID WORKSHOPS
AT MOTT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Students currently receiving or planning to receive federal educational loans for the 2010-2011 aid year will need to complete a
Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance counseling for the
Direct Loan Program at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/
index.action
Financial Aid and Enrollment made easier
with the help of MCC
Mott Community College offers free workshops to
help understand and apply for federal financial aid
programs. We are committed to helping you
access the federal financial aid programs that you
may use at MCC or the college of your choice.
How do the Direct Loan and FFELP loan programs differ?
The two programs are essentially identical – the interest rate,
eligibility criteria and most repayment terms remain the same.
The key difference is the source of the loan funding. For FFELP,
the funding comes from a bank or credit union and in the Direct
Loan program, the funding comes directly from the federal government.
If you wish to attend a workshop, we will help you:
Understand the Financial Aid process.
When it does come time to repay the loan, you may be able to
benefit from some of the Direct Loan program's more flexible
repayment options.
Learn about the various Financial Aid
programs available.
Complete your Federal Financial Aid
What happens to my previous FFELP loan(s)?
Previous federal student loans through a bank or other financial
institution will remain in place. Nothing about the terms or conditions of these loans will change. The last day to apply for a
FFELP loan at Mott for the 2009-2010 award year is June 11,
2010.

and intends to ensure a seamless transition for you.
