FAFSA Completion Tracking
For Local Educational Agencies (LEAs),
Public Secondary Schools,
Private Secondary Schools,
and State Agencies

Enrollment to Participate in the Electronic Data Exchange with the U.S. Department of Education’s
Federal Student Aid Systems
In order to obtain completion status information on Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) submissions for
students affiliated with your organization, the organization must enroll to participate in the U.S. Department of
Education’s Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). The SAIG enrollment process will enable your organization, or
authorized representatives acting on behalf of your organization, to receive high school student FAFSA completion data
online using Financial Aid Administrator Access to Central Processing System Online (FAA Access to CPS Online).
Each eligible organization may designate one individual as the Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA)
who will be given access to FAFSA completion data using the FAA Access to CPS Online service.
In order to be eligible to access Federal Student Aid (FSA) Systems, the organization must validate the individual enrolled
as the Primary DPA for CPS online services on a schedule determined by ED. If validation is not completed within the
prescribed timeframe, the service to the organization and individuals could be permanently deactivated.

Step Two: Responsibilities of the Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary
DPA)
The Primary DPA must read, sign, and submit this statement (with an original signature) and must keep a copy for the
organization’s records.
1.

2.

Responsibilities of the Primary DPA:
ƒ

Must be able to document that an established relationship between the Primary DPA’s employer and the student exists
(e.g., the LEA has attendance records for the student about whom the LEA is requesting FAFSA Completion data and
therefore the student is affiliated with the participating organization) before requesting and accessing information about
that student from Federal Student Aid systems.

ƒ

By applying for access to Federal Student Aid systems, the Primary DPA must consent to monitoring, recording,
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).

ƒ

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 immediately notify Federal Student Aid at
[email protected].

ƒ

To the extent that the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its implementing
regulations (20 U.S.C. 1232g and 34 CFR Part 99) are applicable, must ensure compliance with the provisions of
FERPA and implementing regulations including ensuring that any personally identifiable information that is obtained
without parental consent from a student’s education record under FERPA (such as student’s name, address, and date of
birth) has been appropriately and publicly been designated as “directory information” under FERPA and that the student
or his or her parents have not opted out of the disclosure of such directory information before any “directory
information” is disclosed, without consent, to Federal Student Aid or any third party.

ƒ

Must ensure that password sharing, the sharing of system access, and the use of any tools that allow access to Federal
Student Aid systems are strictly prohibited. (These tools are called “authenticators.”)

ƒ

Must ensure that access is provided only to systems, networks, data, control information, and software for which the
Primary DPA is authorized.

ƒ

Must ensure that procedures for sanitizing stored information are followed (e.g., overwriting disks that contain sensitive
information before reuse).

ƒ

Must inform Federal Student Aid at [email protected] and the organization’s Certifying Official when access to a
Federal Student Aid system is no longer required (i.e. the Primary DPA is leaving his or her position or job
responsibilities have changed) and when corrections or changes are required.

Agreements
The Primary DPA agrees and understands 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 both, under provisions of
the United States Criminal Code (including 18 U.S.C. 1001). The Primary DPA also agrees to comply with all provisions of
Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.

3.

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.
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 and password are required to access student information. The same Web site includes the FAFSA
Completion Tracking system.
FAFSA Completion Tracking Program. A Web tool that enables an organization to request and receive, in a secure
environment, FAFSA completion information for an individual high school student or a specified group of high
school students. This information can be used by participating secondary schools, local educational agencies, state
agencies, and other ED approved entities to facilitate counseling to students on FAFSA completion, assist in
finding financial aid funding for college, and encourage college acceptance and enrollment.
Federal Student Aid (FSA). The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA) established a performancebased organization to administer the Federal Student Aid programs at the U.S. Department of Education. These
programs include the Federal Pell Grant program, the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant program, the TEACH
Grant program, the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, the Federal Direct Loan
program, the Direct PLUS Loan program, the Federal Work-Study program, and the Federal Perkins Loan
program.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application that the student must file to apply for aid from any
Title IV, HEA program, including Direct Loan, the Federal Pell Grant program, the Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant program, the Federal Work-Study program, the Iraq and Afghanistan Service
Grant program, the Perkins Loan program, and the TEACH Grant program. Students can apply online by using
FAFSA on the Web (http://fafsa.ed.gov). The FAFSA is also printed and distributed free of charge by the U.S.
Department of Education.
NCES LEA ID. The seven digit code is used by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) to uniquely identify a local educational agency (LEA). This field displays the 7-digit LEA
identification number. The first 2 digits of the 7-digit school district ID identify the State (State FIPS code) and
the last 5 digits identify the district ID. In combination, they make a 7-digit unique ID code for each LEA.
NCES Public School ID. The 12-digit code used by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) to uniquely identify a public school. The first 7 digits of the 12-digit school ID are the NCES
LEA ID, and the last five digits are the school ID. In combination, they make a 12-digit unique ID code for each
public secondary school.
NCES Private School ID. The eight-digit code used by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) to uniquely identify a private secondary school.
Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA). An individual who has been designated by the chief operating
officer (or the equivalent) of the organization as the responsible party for enrollment to participate in the FAFSA
Completion Tracking program and to be provided access to the FAFSA Completion Tracking system with a user
ID and password. The Primary DPA is responsible for access to Federal Student Aid systems and to ensure the
data provided by these systems is protected according to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as well as to
ensure that the Primary DPA does not inappropriately access records that are not associated with their
organization.

identifying number for many Federal purposes, including identifying a Primary DPA, Title IV, HEA student
financial aid program administrators and applicants participating in the Title IV, HEA programs.
State FIPS Code. The 2-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Code. This standard provides a set of 2digit numeric codes for representing the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas of the United
States. This standard was superseded on September 2, 2008 by ANSI standard but is still commonly referred to as
the state FIPS code. For more information on FIPS codes go to: http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/cocodes/states.htm.
Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). The SAIG links thousands of Destination Points (institutions, agencies, lenders,
approved entities, etc.) across the United States, its territories, and certain ED-designated foreign countries to the
Department of Education’s Title IV, HEA student financial aid programs and delivery system.
