To set up loan participants for CRC, use the Create CRC Loan Participants component (SFA_CRC_DEST_ID).
Participants in the loan process include lenders, guarantors, and loan servicers. To streamline the loan process, identify all loan participants and understand their electronic loan processing requirements and agreements with your institution.

Loan edits verify that the loan origination data is valid for transmission to the receiving loan agency. All CommonLine loan validation edits must be defined in the Loan Edits/Message Table page. Financial Aid delivers a core set of edits to be used during loan validation. All CommonLine loan edits are equations written using the Equation Engine. There are separate edits created for both CRC and CL 4 loans. You can use the Equation Engine to create or modify equations to support loan agencies that are not defined as a CommonLine standard.

Consolidate the loan participants—the lender, guarantor, and servicer—into one entity, the loan destination. The loan destination defines the business characteristics and protocols between a lender, guarantor, and servicer which enables them to process loans for the school. You must create a loan destination profile for each lender/guarantor/servicer relationship in the FFELP loan program and alternative loan program, and for the Direct Lending servicer for direct loans.
Note. If you continue to process loans under the CommonLine 4 protocol, you should not create active CRC loan destination profiles for the same CommonLine 4 destinations until you are ready to use them.

To set up loan origination for CRC, use the Reassign Loan Agencies component (LN_AGENCY_DFLT) and Define Loan Institutions component (LOAN_INST_TABLE).
This section provides an overview of loan origination and discusses how to:
Specify a default loan agency.
Set up loan destination defaults.
Because CommonLine 4 process levels only require a guarantor to originate a loan, the loan destination that you use to originate the loan might not be the same loan destination that you use to guarantee the loan.
Loan origination follows a seven-step process to determine the lender and guarantor and then determine the loan destination. You determine which steps to follow when you set destination defaults.
Step |
What Happens |
Possible Information Selected |
Step 1 – This step is always performed. |
If an active unused promissory note is tracked, the designated lender and guarantor are selected from the form used for origination. Steps 2 through 6 are skipped. |
Lender Only Guarantor Only Lender and Guarantor No Information |
Step 2 – This step is always performed. |
If a matching loan is originated and guaranteed in the current aid year for the borrower, the lender and guarantor are used from the earlier origination record. Steps 3 through 6 are skipped. |
Lender and Guarantor No Information |
Step 3 – Optional |
If the student has selected a lender on a self-service page, the process uses the selected lender and skips steps 4 through 6. |
Lender No information |
Step 4 – Optional |
The origination process looks back one year for a prior year originated loan of the same loan type. If a prior loan is found, steps 5 and 6 are skipped. |
Lender and Guarantor No Information |
Step 5 – Optional |
The origination process looks at the current NSLDS history to find a previously originated loan of the same loan type. A new NSLDS loan type cross reference section is available in the Loan Type Table component to facilitate this step. If a prior loan is found, step 6 is skipped. Note. Only the guarantor is used from the NSLDS loan history. |
Guarantor Only No Information |
Step 6 – Optional |
A default destination is assigned. User can assign a default CL 4 or CRC destination number. |
Lender Only Guarantor Only Lender and Guarantor No Information |
Step 7 – This step is always performed. |
Checks the validity of the selected lender and guarantor values and reassigns lender and guarantor IDs as defined in the Agency Default page. |
Lender Only Guarantor Only Lender and Guarantor No Information |
Step 8 |
Based on the lender, guarantor, and servicer information selected in the prior six steps, the loan origination process searches for a matching CRC loan destination profile record. If one is not found, the CL 4 loan destination profile records are checked for a matching record. If one is not found, the loan is still originated, but it cannot be transmitted until a loan destination is assigned. |
Loan Destination No Destination |
