General Information

By enrolling your organization in the SAIG, you will be able to exchange information electronically with the U.S. Department of Education. Many student financial aid services can be accessed via the SAIG. You must determine which services are needed by your school or organization and enroll appropriate individuals as Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) for the specific services that you want them to access. When you enroll a new DPA, a destination point will be established with an assigned “TG” number that identifies the DPA’s destination point on the SAIG. The TG number will be mailed to the Financial Aid Administrator upon successful processing of the enrollment form.

You may enroll Destination Point Administrators with their own destination points (mailboxes) for each service or function, or you may combine services and functions through a single Destination Point Administrator (DPA) with a single Destination Point (DP). Many institutions find a single DPA and DP is sufficient. The number of destination points allowed is provided in the following table.

Service	Number of Destination Points Allowed
1. Direct Loan (All)	One
2. CPS, Submit Initial App. Data	Two
3. CPS, All Other Functions/Types	One
4. Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant) Processing/Batch Files	One
5. Campus-Based Programs, FISAP	One
6. Cohort Default Rate Package, Batch	One
7. NSLDS, Batch Files	One
8. NSLDS, On-line	No Limit
9. FMS, Lender Reporting System (LaRS)	One

The Department’s Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) services that can be accessed over the SAIG are:

1. Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan Program): Participation in the Direct Loan Program, application processing, drawing and disbursing funds, and program reporting will all involve the transmission of data over the SAIG. Direct Loan schools must be enrolled on the SAIG. To enroll a DPA for a destination point with Federal Direct Loan Program data capability, complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6 and 7; Step 3; and Step 4.

2. & 3. Institution Applicant Data Service (performed by ED’s Central Processing System (CPS)): Student application data including corrections can be entered and obtained over the SAIG. Student application data is received via a paper or electronic version of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and reported to the school via the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). To enroll a Destination Point Administrator with access to these services, complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6 and 8; Step 3; and Step 4. (Note: Only one destination point can be used to exchange data with each of the CPS applicant data functions, except in the case of initial FAFSA applicant data, two destination points are permitted.)

4. Federal Pell Grant Program*: The Federal Pell Grant Program payment system allows payment and required reporting information to be exchanged electronically via the SAIG. All participants in the Federal Pell Grant Program must transmit payment and reporting data over the SAIG. To enroll for this service complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6 and 14; Step 3; and Step 4. *Note: If your institution is a two or four year, degree-granting institution, the ACG and the National SMART Grant will be processed under the Pell Grant enrollment. No enrollment for ACG and National SMART Grant is needed.

5. Campus-Based (CB) Programs: The CB programs, as they are collectively known, include Federal Work-Study (FWS), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and the Federal Perkins Loan program. The application method for enrolling and participating in one or all of the CB programs is the FISAP (Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate). The annual submission deadline for the FISAP is October 1. To establish a destination point, please complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6 and 9; Step 3; and
Step 4.

6.-8. National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS): The NSLDS is a national database that collects and maintains individual student data (unit specific) for all federal student loan borrowers with outstanding loan balances and selected grant data. All institutions that participate in the Title IV federal student financial aid programs must have at least one destination point for NSLDS services that includes the on-line Enrollment Reporting (formerly SSCR) function for updating student enrollment data, and overpayment update. Since January 1, 2003, institutions have received and will continue to receive their cohort default rate (CDR) notification packages (eligibility letters and loan record detail report) via their SAIG mailbox. Institutions whose CDR exceedexceeds regulatory thresholds may be subject to loss of program eligibility. Therefore, it is critical that the appropriate Destination Point Administrator be designated for this service. To enroll a DPA with a destination point for these services, complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6, 10, 11, and 12; Step 3; and Step 4.

If the Department of Education has valid email addresses for the President and Financial Aid Administrators of your school as provided to FSA’s Postsecondary Education Participant system, the Department will be able to provide a courtesy alert email message each time we distribute cohort default rate notices. Your school may provide email address and other school contact information via a simple update to the Application for Approval to Participate in Federal Student Financial Aid Programs. This application is available on the World Wide Web at www.eligcert.ed.gov. Specific instructions for how to update this application with your school’s e-mail address and other contact information fields are available at http://ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements /0518Emailaddphone.html.

9. FMS, Lender Reporting System (LaRS): The LaRS allows lender institutions or their servicers the option to send financial reporting information to Federal Student Aid’s Financial Management System (FMS) via their SAIG mailbox. To enroll for this service, complete Step 1; Step 2, Questions 6 and 13; Step 3; and Step 4.

Once we receive all necessary signatures from you, we will process your enrollment. If your enrollment was for a new TG number, we will send your SAIG TG and customer numbers to you.

To participate on the SAIG your organization must use designated electronic processes. For information on these electronic processing requirements, see the notice published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2004. If you have questions regarding any of these requirements, please contact CPS/SAIG Technical Support at 800-330-5947 or send email via the Internet to [email protected][email protected]. To reach a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD/TTY), call 800-511-5806.

To complete this enrollment process, you may need the following information:

• Currently enrolled organizations will need their existing TG number(s) of current destination point(s), the names of Destination Point Administrator(s) (DPAs) or contacts, and the customer number(s). Customer numbers begin with the letter “Z”.

• Postsecondary institutions will need the OPE-ID number. If your school participates in the Pell Grant Program and/or Direct Loan Program, you will also need the institution’s Pell Grant Code (Federal School Code) and/or Direct Loan Program numbers. To find these numbers, look at the reports your school has submitted for these programs in the past, your Eligibility and Certification Report (ECAR), and your institution’s Program Participation Agreement (PPA). You can call ED’s School Eligibility Channel at
  202-377-4277.

• Guaranty agencies will need the guaranty agency (GA) code number assigned by ED. A list of active and inactive GA codes is contained in the instructions for the Guaranty Agency Financial Report -- Form 2000.

• Lenders will need the lender ID number assigned by ED. Participating lenders will find their lender ID numbers on the Lender Application Process or LaRS forms accessible via www.fp.ed.gov.

• All individuals completing this form will need the name, address, Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth, and mother’s maiden name for each Destination Point Administrator, current and new.

How Student Aid Internet Gateway Enrollment Works

By completing this application, you will be enrolling individuals as Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) for destination points (mailboxes) on the SAIG. Enrollment is designed to secure the integrity of data that is exchanged between you and the many services accessed over the SAIG. Before beginning to complete the application, you should determine the SAIG services that your organization must access, the appropriate people who need to interact with those systems, and the number of destination points required.

Each destination point must be assigned an individual to serve as its DPA. Except in the case of some NSLDS services, the DPA can give access to the enrolled services of a destination point to multiple individuals called SAIG Users (see Attachment B). You should make additional copies of Steps 2-4 to accommodate the total number of DPAs you seek to enroll or update.

Example

A common enrollment for a school financial aid office that participates in the Pell Grant program, the campus-based programs, and the Federal Family Education Loan Program includes two Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) with assigned mailboxes (destination points) that are identified on the network by the TG numbers. The first DPA (DPA-1) is responsible for nearly all of the electronic transmissions across the SAIG. DPA-1 and the assigned destination point (mailbox) isare set up to send and receive data related to the FAFSAs and ISIRs (CPS), Pell Grant payments, FISAP reporting, and NSLDS (reporting and on-line functions). DPA-1 may allow others to access all the services accessible through his/her mailbox, except the on-line NSLDS functions. Therefore, the school enrolls a second individual as a DPA (DPA-2) with a second destination point so that a second individual can access NSLDS on-line.

Where permitted, the Destination Point Administrator will determine the SAIG Users allowed access to that destination point. The DPA must enforce the security requirements as outlined in the SAIG User Statement (see Attachment B). Your President/CEO/Chancellor, the equivalent, or designee must certify that each DPA has developed secure procedures in compliance with the security requirements for permitting other people to use his/her destination point (see Step 4). The DPA also must complete a profile for each SAIG User within the EDconnect software used to connect to SAIG. See EDconnect Help Text for instructions.

Note: If you want to cancel the enrollment of any DPAs, send a letter on organization letterhead identifying the TG numbers that you want cancelled. The letter should be mailed to CPS/SAIG Technical Support, P.O. BOX 4229, Iowa City, IA 52244-4229.2450 Oakdale Blvd., Coralville, IA 52241. This can also be completed on-line at www. fsawebenroll.ed.gov.

Instructions for Completing Enrollment

Before you begin, make copies of Steps 2 through 4 for each Destination Point Administrator (DPA) you are enrolling or providing new information.

Step One

Step One collects information about your organization.

1. This enrollment form can be used for multiple purposes. You may use the enrollment form to enroll new participants on SAIG such as a newly eligible school or a third-party servicer or lender that has never used SAIG for any reason. You can also use the enrollment form to change or to add information about an existing Destination Point Administrator (DPA) or Destination Point (DP), and to add destination points for an already enrolled organization.

Check “A” if you are a first-time participant and your organization does not have a TG number.

Check “B” if your organization is enrolled on SAIG and you want to add a destination point. Provide the customer number of your organization.

Select “C” if your organization is enrolled on the SAIG and you want to change or add any information about an existing destination point. Fill in the information that has changed for any questions in Steps 1 and 2; and complete Steps 3 and 4. If you are uncertain of what to complete, call CPS/SAIG Technical Support at 1-800-330-5947. To reach a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD/TTY), call 800-511-5806.

2. Provide the name of your organization as you would like it to appear on all SAIG correspondence. (The limit is 40 characters, including letters and spaces.)

3. Check the appropriate box to indicate the type of organization.

4. Check the appropriate box to indicate if you will be using a personal computer, a mainframe system, or both to send and receive transmissions via the SAIG.

5. Each school must identify a single individual responsible for receiving any correspondence for SAIG services. If you have provided a customer number in Question 1.B and there are no changes in the identifying information requested in Question 5 for the individual receiving the information, skip this question and go to Question 6. If you do not have a customer number, or you need to change any of the information associated with your current customer number, complete all the information requested in Question 5.

If you have any questions about completing your application, please call CPS/SAIG Technical Support: at

Step Three

Step Three collects the required agreements from the Destination Point Administrator identified in Step Two.

Each Destination Point Administrator must read and sign this statement. The original signature form must be attached to your completed enrollment form and submitted to CPS/SAIG Technical Support, P.O. Box 4229, Iowa City, Iowa 52244-4229.2450 Oakdale Blvd., Coralville, Iowa 52241. A copy of each signed and dated statement must be maintained by your organization. Once we receive all necessary signatures from you, we will process your enrollment. If your enrollment was for a new TG number, we will send your SAIG TG and customer numbers to you.

Step Three: Responsibilities of the Destination Point Administrator.

Each SAIG Destination Point Administrator must read and sign this statement and keep a copy on file.

1. Responsibilities of the Destination Point Administrator.

• The Destination Point Administrator must maintain a profile within the EDconnect software and a SAIG User Statement for anyone who has permission to use his or her destination points. (See the EDconnect Help Text for instructions about how to create and maintain these profiles. See Attachment B of the SAIG enrollment document for the user statement.)

IMPORTANT: Only the Destination Point Administrator himself or herself is permitted to use the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) destination point that has the information listed in Question 12 on page 15. Permission to use this destination point for NSLDS CANNOT be granted to anyone else.

• The Destination Point Administrator will use software provided by ED to monitor his or her SAIG destination point. This software will keep track of who is using the destination point, what information is being used, the date and time, and the batch number (if applicable).

• Use of SAIG is subject to monitoring, recording, and periodic auditing to ensure that resources are functioning properly and to protect against unauthorized use. By using SAIG, the Destination Point Administrator is expressing consent for such monitoring, recording, and auditing, and is acknowledging that information gained in this manner may be disclosed to an appropriate third party (for example, law-enforcement personnel).

2. Appropriate use consists of the following:

• Using SAIG computing resources for official government business. (Any other use must first be approved by the U.S. Department of Education.)

• Protecting all SAIG information from access by or disclosure to unauthorized personnel.

• Prohibiting password sharing and the sharing of system access and any tools that allow access to SAIG. (These tools are called “authenticators.”)

• Accessing only systems, networks, data, control information, and software for which the Destination Point Administrator is authorized.

• Knowing procedures for sanitizing stored information (for example, overwriting disks that contain sensitive information before reuse).

• Informing SAIG management when the Destination Point Administrator no longer needs access to a SAIG resource, such as when the Destination Point Administrator changes jobs or leaves employment.

3. Agreements

• The Destination Point Administrator understands that if he or she intentionally submits false or misleading information to the U.S. Department of Education, he or she will be subject to a fine up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to five years, or both, under provisions of the United States Criminal Code (including 18 U.S.C. 1001). The Destination Point Administrator also agrees to comply with all provisions of Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.

4. Privacy Act Statement

• The information provided to the Destination Point Administrator by the U.S. Department of Education is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Protecting this information, once it is entrusted to the Destination Point Administrator, becomes his or her responsibility. Therefore, the Destination Point Administrator agrees to protect the privacy of all information that has been provided to the Destination Point Administrator by the U.S. Department of Education. The Destination Point Administrator understands that any person, including himself or herself, who knowingly and willfully requests or obtains any record concerning an individual from an agency under false pretenses shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and may be fined not more than $5,000.

Step Four

Step Four collects the required authorization from your organization to process the enrollment information for the Destination Point Administrator you’ve identified in Step 2.

If the President, CEO, Chancellor or equivalent person wishes to designate another person to be the responsible authorizing official, then Section 1 must be completed. This designation needs to be completed only once.

For each destination point, the chief officer of the organization (President, CEO, Chancellor, equivalent person, or Designee) must sign Section 2, the responsibility statement. If your organization is a third-party servicer acting on a school’s behalf, both the school’s chief officer and your organization’s chief officer must sign. The original signature form must be attached to your completed form and submitted to the SAIG at the address on page 2. A copy of each signed and dated statement must be maintained by your organization.

Step Four: Certification of the President/CEO/Chancellor, or equivalent position, or designee.

1. Designation of Authorizing Official

• You hereby designate _____________________________-Title ________________, to be your responsible authorizing official for all future SAIG Enrollment forms. All responsibilities of the President/CEO/Chancellor, or equivalent position shall be carried out by this designee. You agree to assume the responsibility for such actions associated with this and future enrollment agreements. This designation is effective as of the date signed below. If you wish to designate to have someone other than your President, CEO, or Chancellor to sign your SAIG Enrollment forms, you may do so by having the President, CEO, or Chancellor complete and sign Box 1 and have the person that they have appointed to be the designee complete and sign Box 2.
