SAIG Information
By enrolling
your organization in SAIG, you will be able to exchange information electronically
with the U.S. Department of Education. Many student financial aid services
can be accessed via the SAIG. You must determine which services are needed
by your school or organization and enroll appropriate individuals as destination
point administrators (DPAs) for the specific services that you want them
to access. When you enroll a new DPA, a destination will be established
with an assigned "TG" number that identifies the DPA's destination
point on the SAIG.
Only one destination point can be established to exchange each type of
data available through the Central Processing System (CPS), except initial
application data which can be submitted by two destination points. Similarly,
only one destination point each can be established for campus based report
program data and Federal Perkins Loan batch data. Destination
points that include access to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
data can be used for other services, however only the DPA for that destination
point can use that destination point to access NSLDS online.
You may enroll destination point administrators with their own destination
points (mailboxes) for each service or function, or you may combine services
and functions through a single destination point administrator (DPA) with
a single destination point (DP). Where permitted, the DPA will determine
the SAIG users allowed access to that destination point. The DPA must
enforce the security requirements as outlined in the Federal Student Aid User Of Electronic Services Statement
including the completion and maintenance of this statement(s). Your President/CEO or
Designee must certify that each DPA has developed secure procedures
in compliance with the security requirements for permitting other people
to use his/her destination point. The DPA must also complete a profile
for each SAIG user within the EDconnect software used to connect to SAIG.
