Schools can obtain data regarding a borrower’s loan history through the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The information is provided by the NSLDS online service as a Financial Aid History Report. When obtaining borrower loan history data via the NSLDS Web site, the results received will include information regarding all open student loans in the borrower’s name. If the borrower has loans through guarantors, other than ISAC, or the Federal Direct Loan Program, that information will be included in the results along with any loans guaranteed by ISAC.

Schools can access information through the NSLDS Web site at http://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov. In order to access NSLDS data, schools must be enrolled in the Department of Education's (ED) Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). For additional information or to enroll, visit the SAIG Enrollment Site. Questions may be directed to 800-999-8219.

Schools may choose to request Financial Aid History Reports via a batch file rather than individually online. There is no limit to the number of records that can be submitted in a batch file. Sending and receiving of batch files can be performed using the EDconnect software. Specific record layouts are required for a batch file. Additional assistance regarding Financial Aid History Reports may be received from NSLDS Customer Service Center at 800-999-8219.
