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 federal
student aid programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) 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 each
entity 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 can enroll other staff as Non-Primary Destination Point
Administrators (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 (FSA) 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
organization or the Primary DPA of the organization applying to participate in ED’s SAIG enrollment process.

Available Services
By completing this application, you will be enrolling an individual as the Primary DPA who will be responsible for
the administration of services assigned to the organization’s primary Destination Point (which is identified by a 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 and Collections System (DMCS), the Conditional Disability Discharge (CDD) program, the Direct
Loan Servicing System (DLSS), and Financial Aid Administrator (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. CPS, Submission of Application Data: Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) data can be entered

Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). To enroll a DPA with access to these services, complete Step
One; Step Two, Section 1, 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 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 and
Afghanistan Service 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 COD system.
To enroll for this service, complete Step One; Step Two, Section 1, Question 7; Step Three; and Step Four.

4. eCB program systems: The eCB program systems include Federal Work-Study (FWS), the 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 eCB programs is the Fiscal Operations
Report and Application to Participate (FISAP). The annual submission deadline for the FISAP is October 1.
To enroll for this service, complete Step One; Step Two, Section 1, Question 9; Step Three; and Step Four.
5. NSLDS: NSLDS is a national database that collects and maintains individual student data for all Title IV, HEA
student loan borrowers and grant recipients. All institutions that participate in the Title IV, HEA 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 and
Gainful Employment (GE) data, Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM), overpayment update, and batch services
for the electronic Cohort Default Rate (eCDR) and Gainful Employment rates. You can also request online
NSLDS access to view and update Title IV, HEA loan, grant, and enrollment history information, and GE data.
To enroll a DPA with a Destination Point for these services:
•

Postsecondary Educational Institutions and Institutional Third-Party Servicers must complete Step One;
Step Two, Section 1, Questions 10, 11, 12, and 13; Step Three; and Step Four.

•

FFELP Lenders and Lender Servicers must complete Step One; Step Two, Section 3, Questions 22 and 23;
Step Three; and Step Four.

6. FMS: FMS is a centralized system for all FSA financial transactions. It allows Financial Partners (FP) users to
collect, process, maintain, transmit, and report data about financial events. FMS also provides functionality to
support financial planning and budgeting activities, to accumulate and report cost information, and to prepare
financial statements. The Lender Reporting System (LaRS) enables FFELP Lenders or their Servicers to send
financial reporting information to FSA’s FMS using their SAIG mailbox. The Guaranty Agency Financial
Reporting (GAFR) enables GA’s to send financial reporting information to FSA’s FMS using their SAIG
mailbox. To enroll for this service:
•

FFELP Lenders and Lender Servicers enroll for LaRS by completing Step One; Step Two, Section 3,
Question 21; Step Three; and Step Four.

as the U.S. Department of the Treasury for the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) for the IRS Skip Trace process, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the National
Directory of New Hires (NDNH) information. To enroll for this service, complete Step One; Step Two, Section
2, Question 16; Step Three; and Step Four.
9. CDD program: 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 are 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. GAs that want to enroll
for Borrower Services must complete Step One; Step Two, Section 2, Question 16; Step Three; and Step Four.

How the Enrollment Process Works
When the Primary DPA enrolls a Non-Primary DPA for a Destination Point, ED will assign a “TG” number to the
Non-Primary DPA that identifies the new Non-Primary DPA’s Destination Point (Mailbox) in the SAIG. The TG
number will be provided to the new Non-Primary DPA by ED 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:

A. If the DPA will access information for a FFELP Lender as its third-party servicer, provide the Lender’s
name and LID Number. NOTE: Authorizing Officials’ signatures (Step Four) are required from both
the Lender and the Lender Servicer before access will be considered for approval.
B. Select all functions performed by the DPA. Select Other to provide an explanation for duties not already
described.
23. A. As the Primary DPA, you must identify the Destination Point you want to enroll for batch file data from
NSLDS.
B. If this DPA already has a Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox), provide the TG number here. Provide

necessary signatures from you, we will process your enrollment. If your enrollment was for a new TG
Number, we will contact the DPA with the new SAIG TG number.

Step Four – must be completed by all applicants
Step Four collects the required authorization from your organization to process the enrollment information for the
DPA you have identified in Step One.
If the President, CEO, 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 (TG Number/Mailbox), the chief officer of the organization (President, CEO, equivalent
person, or designee) must sign Section 2, the Responsibility of the President/CEO/Chancellor, or Equivalent Person
or Designee statement.

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.

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 13, page 19;Question 19, page
23; Question 22, page 25 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 thirdparty (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 immediately notify Federal
Student Aid at [email protected]..
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).

2. 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/President/Equivalent Person/or Designee.
Must maintain a signed User Statement (see Attachment B) for anyone who is not a DPA but has access to

Attachment A: Glossary
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 Grant, Iraq and
Afghanistan Service Grant, and TEACH Grant), 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.
Common Origination and Disbursement (COD). COD is a streamlined method for processing Federal Grant
Services (Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, and TEACH Grant) 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, FFELP loans assigned from GAs; Program Overpayments,
and Perkins loans assigned from schools; and all Direct Loan 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.)

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

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. The Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), and Federal

Enrollment Reporting (formerly SSCR). Report completed by schools or their servicers and used in the
administration of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and the Direct Loan Program to
track the enrollment status of borrowers.
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
provided education loans to student and parent borrowers. The program offered four types of loans:
Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS Loan and the
Federal Consolidation Loan. All of these were long-term loans insured by state or private nonprofit GAs
that are reimbursed by the federal government for all or part of any insurance claims paid to lenders. This
guarantee replaced the collateral or security usually required with long-term consumer loans. As of June
30, 2010, no new loans can be made under the FFELP Program. (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.)
