Subject: Reminder - Active Confirmation of TG Numbers (SAIG Mailboxes) Required by December 17, 2010 to Maintain Access to Federal Student Aid Systems
As a reminder, every organization enrolled for a Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) account is required to review and validate its assigned TG numbers by December 17, 2010. Currently, approximately fifty percent of accounts still require validation. Failure to complete this process by December 17, 2010 will result in loss of access to Federal Student Aid data systems, including services such as Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) deliveries, ISIR requests, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) corrections, and NSLDS enrollment reporting and updates.
Accounts that must be validated include TG numbers with access to the NSLDS Professional Access Web site, the eCampus-Based (eCB) Web site, and all FAA Access to CPS Online user accounts. It also includes TG numbers enrolled for SAIG batch services for the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), the Central Processing System (CPS), the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System, the Direct Loan Servicing System, and the Financial Management System (FMS). Each organization must provide active confirmation that enrolled staff still require the access they have or delete the users that no longer need accounts.
To perform the account validation process, each organization’s Primary Destination Point Administrator (DPA) must follow the steps outlined below for both the organization's SAIG Mailbox accounts and FAA Access accounts.
Note: The Primary DPA must have an FSA User ID to complete the process described below. To obtain an FSA User ID, go to https://fsawebenroll.ed.gov/PMEnroll/PMAccountServlet.jrun, provide identifying information, and follow the remaining registration steps. Once the registration process is complete, including establishing a password, the FSA User ID will be e-mailed to the Primary DPA.
