Reviewing NSLDS Codes

To set up NSLDS codes, use the Maintain NSLDS Codes component (NSLDS_CODES1).

This section discusses how to review the NSLDS Code Table.

The U.S. Department of Education defines the NSLDS loan status codes, which are updated each year in a regulatory release. The NSLDS database is maintained by the Department of Education and provides a student's complete Pell Grant and loan history and their current status. You can view NSLDS status codes in the View NSLDS History component.

Indicates whether the NSLDS status code affects eligibility for Title IV aid. Review the default values to determine whether they apply to your institutional business rules. If this check box is selected, the student is still eligible for Title IV aid when the NSLDS status code appears on his or her database record. If the check box is cleared, the student is not eligible for Title IV aid when the NSLDS status code appears on their database record. If the check box is unavailable, the NSLDS status code has no effect on eligibility.

This check box is for informational purposes only; no processing is associated with it.
