How to Sign a Promissory Note
A promissory note is a signed/e-signed document containing a written promise to repay a loan based on the specific regulations of the loan.
- After you have accepted an Institutional Loan our servicer ECSI will email you login credentials.
- You will use those credentials to complete the Promissory Note.
- Once completed ECSI will notify WVU that you have completed your promissory note.
- Should some piece of information not match our federal database you will be required to print, sign, and turn in a paper copy to the WVU Hub.
How to Complete Exit Counseling
If you graduate, withdraw, transfer, or drop below half-time registration status, and you have borrowed from WVU, you must complete the Exit Counseling requirement. This is an opportunity to remind yourself of your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower.
- Upon leaving the University, ECSI will email your login credentials to your MIX or other selected email.
- The email will direct you to ECSI, and you will select the Manage Your Student Loan Accounts box.
- Once you have logged in, you will be prompted to complete your outstanding Exit Counseling.
