Agenda • Accessing NSLDS • Pell Grant LEU • Aggregate Questions • Report Changes • Enrollment Reporting
Pell Grant LEU • Lifetime Eligibility Used • The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive is limited to the equivalent of six years of Pell Grant funding • Since the maximum amount of Pell Grant funding a student can receive each year is equal to 100%, the six-year equivalent is 600%
Pell Grant LEU • Calculated by COD and provided to NSLDS • One time “catch up” file provided in July from COD for award year 1973-74 and forward • All subsequent changes will be sent to NSLDS by COD
Pell Grant LEU • Displays on websites • NSLDS Professional Access, Grant page • NSLDS Student Access, Grant section
Pell Grant LEU NSLDS to CPS • Starting July 2012, Award Year 2012-13, changes include: • Addition of a new Pell Lifetime Limit Flag in prescreening match between NSLDS and CPS: • E = Limit met or Exceeds (>= 600%) • C = Close to Limit (between 501% and 599%) • H = High % warning (between 451% and 500%) • N = No Problem

NSLDS Aggregate Questions NSLDS Aggregate Calculation Process
Components of Recent Loans Loan Status (“in school”) Greater of: Disbursement Amount or OPB Loan Period End Date + 90 Days has not passed Pending Disbursement Amount = Net Loan Amount – Disbursement Amount
Components of Older Loans Loan Status Loan Period End Date + 90 days have passed Lesser of: Disbursement Amount, OPB, or Net Loan Amount
Recent Aggregate Concerns • Capitalized Interest • Considered, but not counted, when balance is greater than total disbursed • If borrower pays down the loan, NSLDS calculation does not differentiate OPB from the capitalized interest • School can determine appropriateness of awarding additional loan amount
Recent Aggregate Concerns • D5 Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans • Included Grad PLUS and Parent PLUS loans causing inaccurate unsubsidized aggregates • NSLDS adjusted the calculation to exclude loanspaid by consolidation underlying Grad PLUS (D3, GB) loans and Parent PLUS (D4, PL) loans • Post-screening records will indicate the update
