Setting Up Loan Origination for CRC

To set up loan origination for CRC, use the Reassign Loan Agencies component (LN_AGENCY_DFLT) and Define Loan Institutions component (LOAN_INST_TABLE).

This section provides an overview of loan origination and discusses how to:

Because CommonLine 4 process levels only require a guarantor to originate a loan, the loan destination that you use to originate the loan might not be the same loan destination that you use to guarantee the loan.

Loan origination follows a seven-step process to determine the lender and guarantor and then determine the loan destination. You determine which steps to follow when you set destination defaults.

Step

What Happens

Possible Information Selected

Step 1 – This step is always performed.

If an active unused promissory note is tracked, the designated lender and guarantor are selected from the form used for origination. Steps 2 through 6 are skipped.

Lender Only

Guarantor Only

No Information

Step 2 – This step is always performed.

If a matching loan is originated and guaranteed in the current aid year for the borrower, the lender and guarantor are used from the earlier origination record. Steps 3 through 6 are skipped.

Lender and Guarantor

No Information

Step 3 – Optional

If the student has selected a lender on a self-service page, the process uses the selected lender and skips steps 4 through 6.

Lender

No information

Step 4 – Optional

The origination process looks back one year for a prior year originated loan of the same loan type. If a prior loan is found, steps 5 and 6 are skipped.

Lender and Guarantor

No Information

Step 5 – Optional

The origination process looks at the current NSLDS history to find a previously originated loan of the same loan type. A new NSLDS loan type cross reference section is available in the Loan Type Table component to facilitate this step. If a prior loan is found, step 6 is skipped.

Note: Only the guarantor is used from the NSLDS loan history.

Guarantor Only

No Information

Step 6 – Optional

A default destination is assigned. User can assign a default CL 4 or CRC destination number.

Lender Only

Guarantor Only

Step 8

Based on the lender, guarantor, and servicer information selected in the prior six steps, the loan origination process searches for a matching CRC loan destination profile record. If one is not found, the CL 4 loan destination profile records are checked for a matching record. If one is not found, the loan is still originated, but it cannot be transmitted until a loan destination is assigned.

Usage

Agency Default Setup

LN_AGENCY_DFLT

select Set Up SACR, then select Product Related, then select Financial Aid, then select Loans, then select Reassign Loan Agencies, then select Agency Default Setup

Identify a default agency if the borrower does not select a lender, guarantor, or servicer. Identify lenders, guarantors, or servicers that are no longer in service and have them replaced automatically with a new agency when a loan is originated.

Note: Schools that have defined loan agency default records for CL 4 loan processing for the aid years that are still active must update the records using the new CRC fields. The CL 4 setting is ignored by the loan origination process.

Loan Destination Default

LOAN_INST_TABLE2

select Set Up SACR, then select Product Related, then select Financial Aid, then select Loans, then select Define Loan Institutions, then select Loan Destination Default

Set up loan destination default parameters.

Access the Agency Default Setup page (select Set Up SACR, then select Product Related, then select Financial Aid, then select Loans, then select Reassign Loan Agencies, then select Agency Default Setup).

Loan Destination Default page

The order the loan origination process uses to choose the loan destination for the student is as follows: Current Promissory Note, Current Year Originations, Check Prior Year Originations, Check NSLDS for Guarantor, and then Default Destination.

Field or Control

Loan Program

Select from: Alternative, Direct, FFELP, Health, Perkins, State, and University.
Current Prom Note (current promissory note), Current Year Originations, and Student Selected Lender

The loan origination process always performs these steps.
Check Prior Year Originations and Check NSLDS for Guarantor

Select to have the system perform these steps.
Default Destination

If nothing results from the first four search methods, the system uses this default destination.
Use CRC Destination

Select to control the searching of the default loan destination profile. If not selected, the system only searches CL 4 destinations. If selected, the system only searches CRC loan destinations.

Note: Choosing a CL 4 or CRC loan destination does not guarantee that the originated loan uses the same CommonLine version—the system continues to perform the loan origination logic.
