PublicationDate: 10/15/96 Summary: Current Status of NSLDS SSCR Process Author: NSLDS - National Student Loan Data System October 15, 1996 From: U.S. Department of Education To: NSLDS Users Subject: Current Status of NSLDS SSCR Process The Department has sent more than 4,500 Student Status Confirmation Rosters to schools and servicers to date. The deadline for returning the rosters remains October 15. Schools that have not returned rosters should continue working on them and return them as quickly as possible. Regional ED staff are calling schools that have not returned rosters. They are available to answer questions and assist with the processing. Rosters are being reviewed by schools and returned to NSLDS. However, those rosters are not yet being processed by NSLDS and Error/Acknowledgment files are not yet being sent to schools or servicers. Early results from processing schools' returned rosters indicated a need for software changes which would facilitate easier handling of error/acknowledgement files by schools. To that end, NSLDS is installing a series of software changes. These changes will be in place before the middle of November, at which time schools and servicers will be sent their error/acknowledgment files. If you have already returned your roster, do not submit on-line enrollment status changes for students on the roster because the changes will be overridden with the processing of the roster. Once you receive the error/acknowledgment file, you may then submit changes on-line for those students on the file. ED is working closely with the National Student Loan Clearinghouse, as well as other servicers, to ensure smooth processing. Many files have been received from the Clearinghouse already, and we expect to receive an even larger number of them in the next few days. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our work to make NSLDS serve you better. |
