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,
HEA 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). Each entity also
is provided with a Primary Destination Point (which is identified by a TG Number/Mailbox). The Primary DPA is the
only person within the organization who may enroll other staff as Non-Primary Destination Point Administrators (NonPrimary 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 deactivated.

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.

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 Non-Primary DPA’s Destination Point (Mailbox) in the SAIG. The TG number will be sent to the new
Non-Primary 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 (Attachment B) for each user that is assigned a User ID within the EDconnect and
TDClient software, which is used to connect to the SAIG.

Step Three: Responsibilities of the Primary and Non-Primary Destination Point
Administrators
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.

2.

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 to obtain
privacy protected information about the student.



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 12, page 18; Question 17, page 20;
Question 18, page 21; and Question 20, page 22 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. In the event of an unauthorized disclosure or breach of applicant information or other sensitive information
(such as personally identifiable information), the DPA must notify Federal Student Aid immediately.



Must ensure that password sharing, the sharing of system access, and the use of any tools that allow access to FSA
systems is 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).

Additional Requirements of the 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 deactivated.



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.

3.



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 processing 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 deactivate or delete user access rights for organization employees who no longer require access.

Agreements
The Primary DPA and/or the Non-Primary DPA agree(s) and understand(s) that intentional submission of false or misleading
information to the U.S. Department of Education is subject to a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to five years, or

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 eCB programs systems, eligible students are paid out of funds
designated for a particular award year.
Central Processing System (CPS). The CPS manages the application and eligibility determination portion of the federal
student aid process. It gathers information from applicants via the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), applies computerized edits and calculations to determine the student’s eligibility, and communicates
the results to the students, schools, state agencies, third-party servicers, and other federal computer systems.
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. 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 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 and Collections System (DMCS). The DMCS houses all default debt held by the Department of
Education. This includes, but is not limited to, Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loans assigned
from Guaranty Agencies (GA), Program Overpayments, and 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 the U.S. Department of the Treasury for the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), Health and Human
Services for the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) information. The system also sends out bills and
correspondence as needed.
Destination Point. An electronic mailbox that sends and receives financial aid data using the SAIG. Every Destination
Point is administered by a Primary or a Non-Primary Destination Point Administrator (DPA) and has an
electronic mailbox number that begins with the letters “TG.” (See Destination Point Administrator.)
Destination Point Administrator (DPA). An individual representing an organization involved in the administration of Title
IV, HEA student financial aid programs (such as a postsecondary institution, FFELP Lender, FFELP Guaranty

Number/Mailbox). To enroll as a DPA, an organization’s representative must complete and submit for processing
the SAIG Enrollment Form to participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s Student Aid Internet Gateway.
The DPA is responsible for the SAIG users’ access to Federal Student Aid systems, to ensure the data provided by
these systems is protected according to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as well as to ensure users do not
inappropriately access records that are not associated with their organization. Note: The Primary DPA is
responsible for enrolling additional Non-Primary DPAs for specific SAIG services assigned to their Destination
Points (TG Number/Mailboxes). Non-Primary DPAs are not allowed to make enrollment changes.
EDconnect. ED’s telecommunications software that allows PC Windows users to send and receive data through the SAIG.
EDExpress. A software product provided by ED that allows institutions to enter, edit and manage origination and
disbursement records to report Title IV, HEA student financial aid application, grant, and Direct Loan data, using
EDconnect to transmit data over SAIG. This software also has functions that institutions can use to package
financial aid awards.
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.
Electronic Services. Primary Destination Point Administrators (Primary DPAs) and their Secondary Destination Point
Administrators (Secondary DPAs) for their organization may enroll users for FAA Access to CPS Online or
EDconnect Entitlement Access. An FSA User ID and password are required to log in to both systems.

the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and the Direct Loan Program to track the enrollment status
of borrowers.
FAA Access to CPS Online. A Web tool that financial aid administrators use to enter application data, view student
information, and make corrections to students’ processed information. It is located at https://faaaccess.ed.gov. An
FSA User ID is required to access student information.
Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. A federal program in which the U.S. government (not a commercial Lender)
provides four types of education loans to student and parent borrowers directly through schools: Federal Direct
Subsidized Loan, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, and the Federal Direct
Consolidation Loan. These loans are referred to collectively as Direct Loans. (The same types of loans are
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
of these are long-term loans insured by state or private nonprofit Guaranty Agencies that are reimbursed by the
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.) (As of June 30, 2010, no new loans could be made under the FFELP Program.)
Federal Loan Servicer. An entity that services Title IV, HEA loans owned by the Department of Education (the
Department). These loans include, but are not limited to, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan)
Program loans and Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Purchased Loans, more simply referred to as
federally-owned loans. Current listings of the Department's federal loan servicers, including each servicer's
contact information, are available at the Loan Servicing Centers for Schools and Loan Servicer Centers for
Students pages on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site.
Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) Program. A federal grant program for undergraduate students with financial need.
