Information about the Enrollment Process to Participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s Student Aid Internet Gateway

The Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) was established to allow authorized entities, including postsecondary educational institutions, institutional third-party servicers, Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) guaranty agencies and guaranty agency (GA) servicers, FFELP lenders and lender servicers, and federal loan servicers, 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 SAIG access. The enrollment process enables the organization enrolling to select services to receive, submit, view, and/or update student financial aid data online and by batch using ED provided software – EDconnect (PC-based software) or TDClient (client software for multiple environments).

Each entity must designate one individual as its Primary Destination Point Administrator (Primary DPA). Each entity is provided with a Primary Destination Point (which is identified by a TG/FT 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.

To access Federal Student Aid (FSA) Systems or other Federal agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the Higher Education Act (HEA) programs, the Primary DPA must validate the individuals enrolled for SAIG Mailbox and online services for the organization on a schedule determined by ED. If validation is not completed via the SAIG Enrollment website within the prescribed timeframe, all services assigned to the organization and individuals could be deactivated.

Organization Personnel Involved in the SAIG Application Process

There are four categories of users at your organization who may obtain data from the Department’s and other agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the HEA programs, and who must complete parts of the SAIG Application:

President/CEO or Designee: The President/CEO is the individual responsible for identifying a Primary DPA for the organization, and who is legally authorized to provide certification of the entity’s DPAs for and on behalf of the organization and must sign the Certification of the President/CEO or Designee on behalf of the organization. The President/CEO may also assign a Designee in Step Four of this SAIG Enrollment Form to act as the Authorizing Official on behalf of the President/CEO for future enrollments.

Primary DPA: The Primary DPA is the individual at the organization who is responsible for the administration of the organization’s SAIG participation which includes, assigning access to the organization’s mailboxes and services and determining the organization’s EDconnect users, TDClient users, and Electronic Service Users who are allowed access to the Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox). The Primary DPA is the only individual within the organization who may enroll staff as Non-Primary DPAs. The Primary DPA is required to complete and submit Sections One through Three of the Enrollment Application to the Coralville, Iowa address provided. When enrolling Non-Primary DPAs, a portion of Step Three of the Enrollment Application must be completed by the Primary DPA indicating that the Primary DPA has reviewed the responsibilities of DPAs with the Non-Primary DPA, including the responsibility to protect the privacy of the information obtained or provided via SAIG. The Primary DPA is also responsible for obtaining the signature of the President/CEO or Designee in Step Four of this SAIG Enrollment Form for every enrollment of a Primary or Non-Primary DPA.

Non-Primary DPA: When a Primary DPA enrolls a Non-Primary DPA in the SAIG, ED will assign the Non-Primary DPA a Mailbox with a unique TG/FT number. The Non-Primary DPA is required to complete and submit Sections One through Three of the Enrollment Application to the Coralville, Iowa address provided.

Electronic Services User: The Electronic Services user is enrolled for FAFSA Online Services, EDconnect and is not provided a TG/FT Number/Mailbox. To protect the integrity and security of the data being transmitted, all Electronic Services users must complete and submit Attachment B – Federal Student Aid User of Electronic Services Statement to their Primary DPA (Attached to this SAIG Enrollment Form below). Attachment B must also be signed by and maintained by the Primary DPA at the organization. Attachment B User Statements must be available for inspection by the Department.

The Primary DPA may enroll more than one Non-Primary DPA with a separate Destination Point (TG/FT Number/Mailbox) for each service or function, or choose to combine all non-NSLDS Online services and functions through a single Destination Point (TG/FT Number/Mailbox). The number of Destination Points allowed per institution for each function is provided in Figure 1:

Step One – must be completed by the Primary DPA for all Non-Primary DPAs

Step One collects information about your organization and the DPA you want to enroll or for whom you are changing or adding information.

1. This SAIG enrollment application can be used for multiple purposes. As the Primary DPA, you may use the application to enroll new participants in the SAIG and you can use the application to change or add information about an existing DPA or Destination Point (TG/FT Number/Mailbox).

1. Check Box A for “Initial Enrollment” if the organization is a first-time SAIG participant and the organization does not have a TG Number/Mailbox. The President/CEO (Authorizing Official on file with ED) of the organization will be designating the individual who will be serving as the Primary DPA. This enrollment will establish this user as the Primary DPA of the Primary TG Number/Mailbox. Note: If item 1A is selected, then enrollees must also complete items 2, 3, and 4.

2. Check Box B for “Adding a new user to obtain an additional Destination Point” if your organization is enrolled in the SAIG and you want to add a Non-Primary DPA and an additional Destination Point (TG/FT Number/Mailbox). Also, enter the Primary TG Number for your organization. Note: If item 1B is selected, then enrollees must also complete items 2, 3, and 4.

3. Check Box C for “Changing information for existing Destination Point/Mailbox” if your organization is currently enrolled in the SAIG and you want to change or add any information about an existing user or Destination Point (TG/FT Number/Mailbox). Fill in the information that has changed for any items in Step One or Step Two, and complete Steps Three and Four. Also, enter the TG/FT Number for the existing destination point that you are changing. Note: If item 1C is selected, then enrollees must also complete items 2 and 4.

If you are uncertain of which box to check, call FPS Help Desk at 1-800-330-5947.

2. Provide the name of the organization, as you would like it to appear on all SAIG correspondence. (The limit is 40 characters, including numbers and spaces.)

3. Check the appropriate box to indicate your organization type.

• Postsecondary educational institutions (schools) must fill out Step Two, Section 1.

• Institutional third-party servicers must fill out Step Two, Section 1.

4. Check whether the information being provided is for the Primary DPA (only one Primary DPA per organization) or for a Non-Primary DPA (the organization may have more than one Non-Primary DPA, see Figure 1). All information must be provided for the DPA enrolling for the organization identified in Item 2. Note: Do not use a group email address.

Step Two – must be completed by the Primary DPA when adding or changing services

Step Two allows you to add or change services for this organization and the Primary DPA or Non-Primary DPA identified in Step One. Complete only one section in Step Two based on your organization type.

• Postsecondary educational institutions and institutional third-party servicers go to Step Two, Section 1 for instructions.

• FFELP GAs and GA Servicers go to Step Two, Section 2 for instructions.

• Federal Loan Servicers go to Step Two, Section 2 for instructions.

• FFELP Lenders and Lender Servicers go to Step Two, Section 3 for instructions.

Step Two, Section 1 is for Postsecondary Educational Institutions and Institutional Third-Party Servicers

In Section 1, select the services your institution will use. The items below correspond to the numbers in the enrollment application.

5. If the DPA you are enrolling or for whom you are adding or changing services will send and receive student applicant data (FAFSAs and ISIRs) complete this section. If this enrollment is for a DPA that will not be involved in FAFSA Services applicant data transmissions, go to Item 6.

1. Complete all required information including the Federal School Code.

2. Check the boxes for the award year(s) this DPA should receive the applicant data. If you select only the 2024-2025 Award Year, your organization will only receive 2024-2025 applicant data. If the 2025-2026 Award Year is selected the organization’s enrollment will be rolled over automatically to subsequent award years.

Daily receipt is the default ISIR delivery method. If “By Request” is checked, the DPA must use FAFSA Online Services to request and receive ISIRs. The ISIRs are then sent to your Destination Point (FT Number/Mailbox) through the SAIG. With either option, you can request a single ISIR or a specified group of ISIRs at any time.

5. If your school uses a third-party servicer to submit batch files to the FPS, but you also want to access FAFSA Online Services tools, check the Yes box to designate yourself as the Destination Point (TG Number/Mailbox) for the school selected.

Step Three – must be completed by all Primary and Non-Primary DPAs

Step Three collects the required agreements and signature pages from the Primary DPA and the Non-Primary DPA identified in Step One.

Each DPA must read and sign the “Responsibilities of the Primary and Non-Primary Destination Point Administrators” statement.

Step Four – must be completed by the Organization President/CEO or Designee

Step Four collects the required authorization from the organization to process the enrollment information for the Primary or Non-Primary DPA identified in Step One.

If the President, CEO or Chief Officer wants to designate another person to be the responsible authorizing official, then Step Four, Box 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, or Designee) must sign Step Four, Box 2, “Responsibilities of the President/CEO or Designee” statement. Note: The Authorized Official name and signature must match the information on file with ED.

If this enrollment is a third-party servicer acting on behalf of another organization, both the organization’s President or CEO (Authorized Official on file at ED) and the third-party servicer’s President or CEO must sign. This means both Box 2 and Box 3 in Step Four must be completed.

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 DPA and the Non-Primary DPA:

• Must ensure that SAIG computing resources are used only for official organization 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^® form, or the Lender holds a loan for the borrower) before accessing Federal Student Aid systems or other Federal agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the HEA programs and to obtain privacy protected information about the student.

• Only the DPA listed in Step One, Item 4, page 15 and referenced in Item 13, page 21; Item 21, page 27; Item 25, page 29 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/FT Number/Mailbox), what information is being accessed, the date and time of access, and the batch number (if applicable).

• By applying for access to Federal Student Aid systems or other Federal agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the HEA programs, 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 (including Federal tax information) is protected from access by or disclosure to unauthorized personnel. In the event of an unauthorized disclosure or breach of student applicant information or other sensitive information (such as personally identifiable information), the DPA must immediately notify Federal Student Aid at [email protected] within 24 hours after the incident is known or identified for postsecondary education institutions at https://fsapartners.ed.gov/title-iv-program-eligibility/cybersecurity/cybersecurity-breach-intake and for all others by notifying 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 the SAIG 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 electronic media that contain sensitive information before reuse).

• The Non-Primary DPA must inform the organization’s Primary DPA when access to a Federal Student Aid system or other Federal agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the HEA programs, is no longer required (i.e. the individual is leaving a position or his or her job responsibilities have changed).

• The information provided to the Primary and Non-Primary DPA by the U.S. Department of Education is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Protecting this information, once it is entrusted to the Primary and Non-Primary DPA, becomes his or her responsibility. Therefore, the Primary and Non-Primary DPA must protect the privacy of all information that has been provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The Primary and Non-Primary DPA understand that any person, including himself or herself, who knowingly and willfully requests or obtains any record concerning an individual from an agency under false pretenses shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 (5 U.S.C. 552a(i)(3)).

• The federal tax information (FTI) provided to the Primary and Non-Primary DPA by the U.S. Department of Education is protected by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Protecting FTI, once it is entrusted to the Primary and Non-Primary DPA, becomes his or her responsibility. The Primary and Non-Primary DPA understand that any person, including himself or herself, who knowingly and willfully conduct:

• unauthorized disclosure of a tax return or return information is punishable as a felony by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution (26 U.S.C. §7213).

Step Three: Responsibilities of the Primary and Non-Primary Destination Point Administrators (Continued)
