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.

agencies’ systems for the purposes of administering the HEA programs, and who must complete parts of the SAIG

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

the organization’s SAIG participation which includes, assigning access to the organization’s mailboxes and services

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.

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).

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

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 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.

provide student-level data, campus-level enrollment data, and program-level enrollment data. This data is
used in the administration of Title IV aid programs by providing critical data to assess the effectiveness of

protects the rights of borrowers by ensuring accuracy of loan repayment dates and allowing for automatic
in-school deferments, among other measures and uses.
Established Relationship. A relationship between a student FAFSA applicant and a LEA, secondary school, or
Designated Entity. In the case of an LEA, an Established Relationship exists where the student FAFSA

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). The TPD program was created to support the regulatory requirement to
track borrower claims for total and permanent disability discharge for one year. The regulations require
monitoring of income and loan status for a period of one year after certification of disability by a physician.

However, if the borrower still meets the eligibility criteria at the end of this period, final discharge of the
student loan is granted.
Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM). A function of the NSLDS that monitors student transfers from one school to
another. Following a student transfer, the new school sends identifying information about the student to
NSLDS and will then receive data updates that will allow the school to disburse and/or deliver aid to the
student.

Department of Treasury with the ultimate objective of collecting past due accounts by means of offset of
