We are pleased to announce the availability of the updated NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide, a comprehensive document that contains step-by-step instructions for National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS®) enrollment reporting.
In this edition, we updated Section 4.4.3, “Withdrawal versus Graduation and Effective Dates,” to provide guidance on how to report enrollment statuses related to the new Return of Title IV Funds withdrawal exemption. The Appendices remain unchanged, but we have attached them here for your convenience.
If you have questions about this information, contact the NSLDS Customer Support Center at 1-800-999-8219 or nslds@ed.gov.
The U.S. Department of Education strives to make all content accessible to everyone. While these documents do not currently meet the standards of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, Federal Student Aid is working to create accessible versions. If you need access to these documents before the accessible versions are available, please contact the Information Technology Accessibility Program Help Desk at ITAPSupport@ed.gov to help facilitate.
