Instructions for Processing your Student Loans
All loans awarded by TAMUK must be guaranteed through TG Loans By WebTM.
Applying for a Stafford loan using TG Loans By WebTM
Your school and TG have teamed up to provide a Web-based application for Stafford student loans. This online application, called TG Loans By Web, will guide you step-by-step through the process of obtaining a loan. Here's what you can expect.
Keep in Mind
- You will not receive a loan until you have completed an application through TGLoans By Web. If you do not have access to a PC with an Internet connection, contact your school's financial aid office or TG. (See phone numbers below.)
- If this is your first Stafford student loan, you may need to complete entrance counseling online and/or in person.
- Download Adobe Acrobat to print your Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Borrower's Rights and Responsibilities. (Get it for free at www.adobe.com.)
- Be prepared to provide two references, including address and phone number.
- You may have the option to electronically sign an MPN with certain lenders. To do so, obtain a Department of Education personal identification number, or PIN, at www.pin.ed.gov.
- Do not send signed MPNs to your school. Your school will be notified of your loan electronically.
Processing
- Open your Web browser and go to TG Loans By Web at https://lbw.tgslc.org. You will be directed to the myTG portal to login in. If this is your first visit to myTG, you will be required to register as a new user. After registering, you will then log in to myTG and be directed to TG Loans By Web.
- Select Complete a loan award, then choose an award.
- Entrance counseling: All students are required to complete online entrance counseling. To do so, click Entrance Counseling. Once you have completed counseling, write down the confirmation number verifying your completion.
- Update your personal information. If you are a returning student and have already received a Stafford student loan from your school, your information should already be available.
- Review or enter your reference information, including addresses and phone numbers.
- Select your lender. If you have borrowed previously, your lender will automatically appear. However keep in mind you may have to select a NEW lender if your lender is no longer participating in the Student Loan Program. If you have never borrowed, a list of lenders will be available for you to choose from. Lenders that will accept an electronic signature for your loan request are designated with an asterisk.
- Review and submit your loan award information. (Click Back at the bottom of the screen to make changes.)
- Print the MPN for a guaranteed loan or have TG print and mail an MPN to you. You may click E-Sign to sign MPNs for lenders that accept electronic signatures.
- Click Close.
- Sign, date, and mail one copy of your printed MPN to your lender. Your lender will not release funds for your loan until it has received the signed MPN from you. If you already have an MPN through your school, you may not have to mail in another note.
