NSLDS Professional Access – NSLDS Financial Aid History Report (FAT001)

We are pleased to announce that the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS®) Financial Aid History Report (FAT001) is now available on the NSLDS Professional Access website. The FAT001 Report, as first described in the Jan. 17, 2025 Electronic Announcement, provides schools with detailed financial aid histories for selected students. This report aids schools in determining the types and amounts of Title IV aid a student is eligible to receive by providing loan and grant history. It also informs schools of a student’s default on a Title IV loan and any obligation to an overpayment of Title IV aid.

The FAT001 Report can be requested from the Financial Aid History Report (FAT001) page under the School tab on NSLDS Professional Access. To receive the report, a valid Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) TG mailbox associated with the requesting user’s six-digit OPEID must be entered, and the user must select a preferred format for receiving the information (extract file or a formatted report). The report will be delivered to the designated SAIG TG mailbox using the following message classes:

  • FAHEXTOP – Extract format

  • FAHREPOP – Report format

To add a student or multiple students in the FAT001 request, select the ‘Add Person’ button to add the student information. You must add at least one student, with a maximum of 50 students permitted. Along with entering the SAIG TG Mailbox and preferred format, it is required to provide the following student identifiers to receive their financial aid history:

  • Social Security Number (SSN)

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Date of Birth (DOB)

Once the request has been successfully submitted, the FAT001 Report will be delivered to the designated SAIG TG Mailbox within one hour.

The FAT001 Report uses the same layout as the Transfer Student Monitoring Alert/Financial Aid History Batch File Layout which includes the following detail record types as outlined in the Transfer Student Monitoring & Financial Aid History User Guide and Record Layouts:

  • Aggregate, Perkins, Flags Record (Detail Record Type 1)

  • Name History Record (Detail Record Type 2)

  • Overpayment Record (Detail Record Type 3)

  • Grant Payment Record (Detail Record Type 4)

  • Loan Detail Record (Detail Record Type 5)

If the student information provided is incorrect or if financial aid history is no longer needed for that student, a ‘Delete’ button is available next to each student record to remove them from the request.
