SAIG Administration

You can connect to the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) and update your school's SAIG Password.

Overview

Navigate to the SAIG Administration screen and enter the TG Number, Password, and test password connectivity. After this, running the Vocado U.S. Department of Education Gateway (VUG) uses the new or updated connection details.

An audit history of all the changes made to the SAIG connection details are displayed on the SAIG Administration page. An audit record is created for each update to the connection details, including the User and Date/Time the change was made. Audit history records are sorted with the most recent change first.

Note: There are two SAIG mailboxes to control:

• FTI-SAIG for Federal Tax Information (FTI) data.
• SAIG for all other ED data.

Required Role Permissions

You must have a role with the following General Permissions through Roles Management to complete the manual processing steps.

• Administration.
• SAIG Administration.

See Set General Permissions Matrix for additional information.
