Enrollment in the Federal Student Aid
(FSA) Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) allows eligible entities
to securely exchange Title IV, Higher Education Act (HEA)
assistance programs data electronically with the Department of
Education processors. Organizations establish Destination Point
Administrators (DPAs) to transmit, receive, view and update student
financial aid records using telecommunication software. Eligible
respondents include, but are not limited to, the following
institutions of higher education that participate in Title IV, HEA
assistance programs, third-party servicers of eligible
institutions, Guaranty Agencies, Federal Family Education Loan
Program (FFELP) lenders, Federal Loan Servicers, and local
educational agencies (LEAs). The Enrollment Form for Post-Secondary
Schools and Servicers represents the full complement of questions
that must be presented for an organization enrolling in SAIG. The
Enrollment Form for State Grant Agencies and the Enrollment Form
for tracking Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Completion for Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) are a subset of
selected questions (from the full complement of questions) to
streamline the form for ease of use. The SAIG Application for State
Grant Agencies Form was revised to create a two-part form. The
first part is the SAIG Enrollment application and the second part
is the new Participation Agreement which establishes the conditions
under which the Department will permit the disclosure of certain
data received or generated by the Department concerning FSA
applicants. The Institutions, Third-Party Servicers, Guaranty
Agencies, Federal Loan Servicers, Lenders Enrollment Form was
revised to allow Lenders and their Servicers to enroll for COD
Online access in order to receive completed electronic IBR/Pay As
You Earn/ICR Repayment Request. Additionally, all forms were
revised to accommodate annual rollover changes (i.e. new award
years).

The changes for the 2017-2018
SAIG Enrollment Forms include annual Rollover/Startup text changes,
language clarifications, and the addition of text for the new
Enterprise Complaint System (ECS) enrollment service. The
difference in the responses is due to a slight decrease in
enrollment responses. The increase in the total annual hours is due
the larger number of Initial Applications versus Updated
Applications.
