On June 7, 2019, we will send the message class "MESSAGTB" via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) to all user mailboxes. The EDconnect transmission software will automatically request, download, and import this new message class table with a user's next connection to the SAIG network. Once the MESSAGTB file has been imported, the new message class table will be used from that point forward.
Message Classes
We will add new message classes for the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS®) and the SAIG Enrollment system.
NSLDS Message Classes
Five new NSLDS message classes will be added for schools to receive new reports. These new reports will be implemented at a later time and further details will be provided in forthcoming communications. The message classes are as follows:
| Message Class | Description |
|
ERGCFWOP |
ER Campus Level Graduation Report FW |
| ERGCCDOP | ER Campus Level Graduation Report CD |
| BDRRLTOP | Borrower Defense Repayment Rates Letter |
| BDRRFWOP | Bor Def Repayment Rt Backup Detail FW |
| BDRRCDOP | Bor Def Repayment Rt Backup Detail CD |
SAIG Enrollment Message Class
One new message class will be added to assist Primary Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) with monitoring the activity status of all institutional users (DPAs) in the Primary DPA's portfolio. Refer to the May 17, 2019 Electronic Announcement for further information. The message class is as follows:
| Message Class | Description |
| PDPAEAOP | PDPA Monthly Enrollment/Authorization File |
Update, Import, and Installation Information
The message class table update will be transparent to users except for an Import dialog box, which will appear on a user's screen and display the progress of the import as the file is importing.
The new message class table file will also be available on the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) website in the "Software and Associated Documents" section.
Using Multiple Networked PCs
If a user has performed a network installation of EDconnect, the new message class table will import into the EDconnect database on the user's network drive. Individual workstations will all have access to the new message class table after it has been imported.
Using Multiple Stand-Alone PCs
If using the current version of EDconnect, the message class table will automatically download and update EDconnect on each PC that initiates a transmission.
