Enrollment to Participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG)
The Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) was established to allow a variety of entities that participate in the Title IV
programs to exchange data electronically with the U.S. Department of Education (ED, Department). In order to
participate in the SAIG, each entity must enroll for access. The enrollment process will enable you to establish your
Organization with services to receive, submit, view, and update student financial aid data online and by batch using
EDconnect or TDClient software.
Each entity has an individual designated as the Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA) and Primary
Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox). The Primary DPA is the only person within the organization who may enroll
other staff as Non-Primary DPAs with Destination Points assigned for specific SAIG services. Upon completing the
enrollment process, the Primary DPA can add or remove users, edit information about the entity, or change the entity’s
enrollment in various SAIG services.
As required for eligibility to access Federal Student Aid Systems, the Primary DPA must validate the individuals enrolled
for SAIG Mailbox and online services for your organization on a schedule determined by ED. If validation is not
completed via the SAIG Enrollment web site within the prescribed timeframe, all services assigned to the organization
and individuals could be permanently inactivated.

Notes About This Document
“We” and “us” refer to the U.S. Department of Education (ED, Department). “You” and “your” refer to the Primary DPA
of the organization applying to participate in ED’s Student Aid Internet Gateway, referred to as the SAIG.

By completing this application, you will be enrolling an individual as the Primary Destination Point Administrator
(Primary DPA) who will be responsible for the administration of services assigned to the school’s primary Destination
Point (TG Number/Mailbox). Enrollment is designed to secure the integrity of data that is exchanged between you and the
many ED systems accessed over the SAIG or online. These systems include the Central Processing System (CPS), the
Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System, the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), the electronic
Campus-Based (eCB) Programs systems, the Financial Management System (FMS), the Debt Management Collection
System (DMCS), the Conditional Disability Discharge Program (CDD), the Direct Loan Servicing System (DLSS), and
FAA Access to CPS Online.
Before completing the application you should determine, based on the systems that your organization must access, the
programs or services that your organization needs to participate in, the appropriate people who need to use those services,
and the number of Destination Points (TG Number/Mailboxes) required. The Primary DPA is responsible for enrolling
additional Non-Primary DPAs for specific SAIG services assigned to their Destination Points (TG Number/Mailboxes).
The services that can be accessed over the SAIG are:
1. Central Processing System (CPS), Submission of Application (FAFSA) Data: Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) application data, including corrections, can be entered and submitted over the SAIG. Processed student
application data is reported to institutions on the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). To enroll a DPA
with access to these services, complete Step One; Step Two, Question 5; Step Three; and Step Four. Note: only one
Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox) can be used to exchange data with each of the CPS applicant data functions
(corrections, ISIRs), except in the case of initial FAFSA applicant data. For the submission of initial FAFSA applicant
data, two Destination Points are permitted. See table below.
2. Federal Grant Services: All participants in the Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) Program, the Iraq Afghanistan Service
Grant program, the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) program, the National Science and Mathematics Access
to Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant) program, and the Teacher Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program must transmit origination and disbursement data over the SAIG to the

student data for all Title IV student loan borrowers and grant recipients. All institutions that participate in the Title IV
student financial aid programs must have at least one Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox) for NSLDS services
that includes the online Enrollment Reporting (formerly SSCR) function for updating student enrollment data,
Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM), overpayment update, and batch services for Cohort Default Rate (eCDR). You
may also request online NSLDS access to view and update Title IV loan, grant, and enrollment history information.

Overpayments, Perkins loans assigned from schools, and all the Direct Loan program defaults. The system also
interfaces with other government agencies such as Treasury for the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), Health and
Human Services for access to CAIVERS and the National Database of New Hires (NDNH). To enroll for this
service, complete Step One; Step Two, Question 12; Step Three; and Step Four.
9. Conditional Disability Discharge (CDD) Program: The Conditional Disability Discharge (CDD) Program was created
to support the regulatory requirement to track borrower claims for total and permanent disability discharge for three
years. The regulations require monitoring of income and loan status for a period of three years after certification of
disability by a physician. Borrowers determined to be ineligible after the three-year period will be returned to active
servicing status. However, if the borrower still meets the eligibility criteria at the end of this period, final discharge of
student loan is granted. Guaranty Agencies that want to enroll for Borrower Services must complete Step One; Step
Two, Section 2, Question 14; Step Three; and Step Four.

How the Enrollment Process Works
When the Primary DPA enrolls a Non-Primary DPA for a Destination Point, a “TG” number will be assigned that
identifies the new DPA’s Destination Point (Mailbox) on the SAIG. The TG number will be sent to the new DPA upon
successful processing of the enrollment form.
The Primary DPA may enroll more than one Non-Primary DPA with a separate Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox)
for each service or function, or choose to combine all non-NSLDS Online services and functions through a single
Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox). The number of Destination Points allowed per institution for each function is
provided in the following table:

The Primary DPA will determine the EDconnect and TDClient users who are allowed access to that Destination Point
(TG Number/Mailbox). The Primary DPA must enforce the security requirements as outlined in the Federal Student Aid
User Statement (see Attachment B). The organization’s President/CEO, the equivalent, or designee must certify that the
Primary DPA has developed secure procedures in compliance with the security requirements for permitting other people
to use his or her Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox) (see Step Four). The Primary DPA also must complete a
Federal Student Aid User Statement for each user that is assigned a User ID within the EDconnect and TDClient software,
which is used to connect to the SAIG.

Each Destination Point Administrator (DPA) must read, sign, and submit this statement (with original signatures) and must
keep a copy for the organization’s records.
1.

Responsibilities of the Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA) and the Non-Primary DPA:
Must ensure that SAIG computing resources are used only for official government business.
Must ensure that a substantially established relationship with the applicant is in place (e.g., the applicant has applied for
admission to the institution, the applicant has included the institution on the FAFSA, the lender holds a loan for the
borrower, or the applicant applied for a loan with the lender) before accessing Federal Student Aid systems.
Must maintain a profile within the EDconnect software, unless the organization uses TDClient. (See the EDconnect Help
Text for instructions on how to create and maintain these profiles. See Attachment B of the SAIG Enrollment Form for
the User Statement.)
Only the DPA listed in Step One, Question 4, page 13 and referenced in Question 11, page 17; Question 17, page 20; and
Question 19, page 21 is permitted to use the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
Must use software provided by the Department to monitor SAIG mailbox activity. This software will keep track of who
is using the Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox), what information is being used, the date and time, and the batch
number (if applicable).
By applying for access to Federal Student Aid systems, must consent to monitoring, recording, and auditing, and
acknowledge that information gained in this manner may be disclosed by the Department to an appropriate third party
(e.g., law enforcement personnel).
Must ensure that all Federal Student Aid applicant information is protected from access by or disclosure to unauthorized
personnel.
Must ensure that password sharing, the sharing of system access, and the use of any tools that allow access to FSA
systems are strictly prohibited. (These tools are called “authenticators.”)
Must ensure that access is provided only to systems, networks, data, control information, and software for which the
DPA is authorized.
Must ensure that procedures for sanitizing stored information are followed (e.g., overwriting disks that contain sensitive
information before reuse).
The Non-Primary DPA must inform the organizations Primary DPA when access to a Federal Student Aid system is no
longer required (i.e. the individual is leaving a position or his or her job responsibilities have changed).

2.

Additional Requirements of the Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA):
Must ensure that all users, whether DPAs or other authorized users, are aware of and are in compliance with all of the
requirements of a DPA.
As required for eligibility to access Federal student Aid Systems, the Primary DPA must validate the individuals enrolled
for SAIG Mailbox and online services for your organization on a schedule determined by ED. If validation is not
completed via the SAIG Enrollment web site within the prescribed timeframe, all services assigned to the organization
and individuals could be permanently inactivated
Must maintain copies of all SAIG enrollment documents submitted to the Department, including the signed
“Responsibilities of the Primary and Non-Primary Destination Point Administrator” form for all DPA’s and the
certification signed by the organization’s CEO.

Must maintain a signed User Statement (see Attachment B) for anyone who is not a DPA but has access to Federal
Student Aid systems, including by batch or online.
Must review SAIG user reports provided by the Department to update user access rights.
At least on an annual basis, must monitor the organization’s NSLDS user access by creating reports using the NSLDS
Web site.
Must ensure that the organization has a process to inform the Primary DPA of any changes in a user’s need for access to
Federal Student Aid systems because of changes to job responsibilities or termination of employment. The Primary
DPA must immediately inactivate or delete user access rights for organization employees who no longer require access.
3.

Attachment A: Glossary
Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG). The Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005 (the HERA), Pub. L. 109171, created the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) Program, a new grant program for full-time students at
degree-granting institutions who are Federal Pell Grant recipients, are U.S. citizens, and who have successfully
completed a rigorous secondary school program of study.
Account Maintenance Fee (AMF). AMF is the annual amount of money paid based on a percentage of the original
principal balance of guaranteed loans outstanding during a fiscal year. The AMF back-up detail provides the loan
information used in the calculation.
Annual Reasonability. NSLDS Annual Reasonability is designed to compare the loan-level detail reported to NSLDS and
the aggregated loan data reported on the Guaranty Agency Financial Report (GAFR). In order to accurately
account for the loan-level detail on NSLDS, NSLDS performs two types of calculations on the NSLDS database:
Quarterly Calculations and Yearly Calculations.
Award Year. July 1 of one year through June 30 of the next year. For the Grant Services (Pell, Iraq Afghanistan Service
Grant, ACG, SMART, and TEACH), and the electronic Campus-Based (eCB) Programs systems, eligible
students are paid out of funds designated for a particular award year.
electronic Campus-Based (eCB) Programs systems. The Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) programs are collectively referred to as the eCB Programs
systems because the funds for these programs are awarded directly to the school for awarding and administration.
Central Processing System (CPS). ED’s application data processing facility. The CPS uses information from the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to calculate the student’s official Expected Family Contribution
(EFC), to create and transmit to schools the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), and to print and mail
to the student the Student Aid Report (SAR).
Cohort Default Rate (eCDR). A measure of the percentage of a school's student borrowers who have defaulted on their
federal student loans.
Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System. Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) is a streamlined
method for processing Federal Grant Services (Pell, Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant, ACG, SMART, and
TEACH), and Federal Direct Loan data.
Conditional Disability Discharge (CDD). The Conditional Disability Discharge (CDD) Program was created to support
the regulatory requirement to track borrower claims for total and permanent disability discharge for three years.
The regulations require monitoring of income and loan status for a period of three years after certification of
disability by a physician. Borrowers determined to be ineligible after the three-year period will be returned to
active servicing status. However, if the borrower still meets the eligibility criteria at the end of this period, final
discharge of student loan is granted.
Debt Management Collection System (DMCS). The Debt Management Collection System (DMCS) houses all default debt
held by the Department of Education. This includes Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loans
assigned from Guaranty Agencies (GA), Program Overpayments, Perkins loans assigned from schools, and all the
Direct Loan (DL) program defaults. The system allows ED to place accounts with Private Collections Agencies
(PCA) who do the actual collection activities. The system tracks all debts, interest accruals, and payments at the
loan level and can associate all loans to a specific borrower. The system also interfaces with other government
agencies such as Treasury for the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), Health and Human Services for access to
CAIVERS and the National Database of New Hires (NDNH). The system also sends out bills and
correspondence as needed.

available through FFELP, but in that program, commercial lenders provide the funds to eligible students.)
Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). A federal loan program under which commercial lenders provide
education loans to student and parent borrowers. The program offers four types of loans: Federal Subsidized
Stafford Loan, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS Loan and the Federal Consolidation Loan. All

federal government for all or part of any insurance claims paid to lenders. This guarantee replaces the collateral or
security usually required with long-term consumer loans. (The same types of loans are available through the
Federal Direct Loan Program, but in that program, the U.S government provides the funds directly through
schools.)
Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) Program. A federal grant program for undergraduate students with financial need.
Federal Student Aid. The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA) established a performance-based
organization to administer the Federal Student Aid programs at the U.S. Department of Education. These
programs include Federal Grant Services (Pell, Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant, ACG, SMART and TEACH),
FFELP Stafford loans, Federal Direct Loans, FFELP and Direct PLUS loans, and the eCB Programs systems:
Federal Work Study, Federal Perkins loans, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity grants.
