Setting Up Direct Loans

This chapter provides information about setting up Direct Loans as mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. This chapter provides an overview of direct lending, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to parent topicOverview of Direct Lending

The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program was established to provide long-term academic loans to qualified students who are enrolled in facilities of higher education, vocational, technical, business and trade schools. The Federal Government provides the funds for direct loans directly to the student, bypassing an outside lender. Students who receive federal direct loan funds cannot receive FFEL (federal family education loan) funds during the same enrollment period.

There are three types of direct loans, as described below:

Direct Loan Type

Loan Characteristics

Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan

A student's eligibility for a Direct Subsidized Stafford loan is determined entirely on the student's ability to demonstrate financial need. The U.S. Department of Education subsidizes the interest; therefore, the borrower is not charged interest while they are enrolled in school at least half-time, and during grace and deferment periods.

Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

A student is eligible for a Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan regardless of their financial situation. Borrowers are responsible for paying the interest on these loans.

Direct PLUS Loan

Direct PLUS loans enable parents to borrow on behalf of their dependent students who are enrolled at least half-time. Borrowers are responsible for paying the interest on these loans.

Direct Graduate/Professional PLUS loans, or Grad PLUS loans, are intended for graduate or professional students who borrow money for themselves. The award amount equals the COA less any financial aid for FAFSA applicants.

The direct lending portion of the Financial Aid package is designed to help you process the Subsidized Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, and PLUS loans awarded to students attending your institution.

There are several things related to your general Financial Aid setup that need to be completed to correctly process direct lending. These are listed here in no particular order.

This section discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up Financial Aid Item Types

Direct lending requires the setup of three financial aid item types to be used only when awarding direct lending loans. You need a financial aid item type for subsidized Stafford loans, unsubsidized Stafford loans, and PLUS loans. You use the Financial Aid Item Types component to set up financial aid item types. You should be familiar with setting up financial aid item types; this section is provided to assist you in selecting the correct values for direct lending financial aid item types where you must make certain selections to have the system correctly process the direct loan. Only the page shot and information specific for direct lending setup is provided.

Missing Term Enrollment

Select the Split evenly across valid term check box for direct lending setup. Disbursement plans determine the disbursements across terms, but students may not attend all terms defined for the disbursement plan. The Missing Term Enrollment rule allows you to specify if you want disbursements to be split evenly among the remaining terms for which the student is actually enrolled. By selecting the Split evenly across valid term check box, you are instructing the system to split the award among the remaining enrolled terms for the student. For example, if the disbursement plan is for fall, winter, and spring quarters, but the student is only enrolled for fall and spring with the Split evenly across valid term check box selected, the award amount is split evenly between the fall and spring terms.

The up-front interest rebate amount of 1.5 percent (in 2004-05) of the gross disbursement is calculated at the disbursement level for each direct subsidized, direct unsubsidized, and direct PLUS loan. The rebate amount is added after the loan fee percent is subtracted from the gross disbursement amount.

A student receives a direct loan of 1,000.00 USD for the Fall 2004 term. The net disbursed amount is 985.00 USD because the 3 percent loan fee of 30.00 USD is deducted from the gross amount of the loan, and the 1.5 percent rebate of 15.00 USD is added back.

Before using Master Promissory Notes (MPN) and Promissory Notes, you must complete setup procedures in PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Community and Financial Aid. This section is provided to assist you in the setup so the system correctly processes direct lending loans. Only the page shot and information specific for direct lending setup is provided.

Institutions processing promissory notes for Health Profession, Perkins, and university/institutional loan types should pay particular attention to this section. If you use the Create PNote Communication and Print Promissory Note processes, the system allows you to link a loan type to a specific document type. This enables the process to support multiple loan types for Perkins loans, Health Professional loans, and university/institutional loans.

If you have multiple loan types per loan program, you can have one checklist per loan type or you can have one checklist for all the loan types within a particular loan program.

Important! You must perform the setup procedures described in this section to successfully print promissory notes and loan packages.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Global Direct Lending Change Parameters

You can use this setup page to set globally what data changes should be automatically submitted to the LOC. These data changes can be for a change file, for a record held for institutional review, or for an automatically suspended record because of reductions to financial data. Once defined, these global parameters are applied to all direct loan records to which changes to data have been made. This global setup assists you in administering what and when multiple data changes should be submitted to the LOC.

The global setup does not preclude you from holding/suspending change information on a student-by-student level. Individual suspend, change, or hold decisions can be made through the DL Stu Change Hold/Suspense page (Financial Aid, Loans, Direct Lending Management, Hold/Suspend Change Data).

Setting Up Global Direct Lending Change Parameters

Access the Ln DL Inst Parm page.

The system displays the Academic Institution and Aid Year.

DL Change Parameters

Chg Field # (change field number)

Select the field that you want to change. The change field numbers correspond to those assigned by the LOC, as defined in the Direct Lending Technical Reference.

DL Change Type

Indicates whether the specified change field number represents a demographic or financial change.

Change Parm (change parameter)

Select the parameter for each field.

No Chg (no change): The system does not consider the specified field during change processing. When you make changes to fields that are assigned this change parameter, the system does not create a change transaction.

Spnd Red (suspend reduced): used for financial change types only. If the change results in a reduced disbursement amount, the system suspends the loan.

Suspend: When you make changes to fields that are assigned this change parameter, the system creates a change transaction and places the loan on hold. This enables you to review the loan to determine if the change is appropriate. If the change is fine, you can remove the hold.

Note. The above change parameters affect those loans that have been transmitted to the COD. Prior to submission, you can change the fields on the loan record without generating a change transaction. Change transactions occur when you make changes to loans that you have previously transmitted to the LOC.

The Loan Report Packages page allows you to create a package containing loan document types such as a cover letter, master promissory note, PLUS promissory note, Perkins promissory note, university/institutional loan promissory note, and health professional loan promissory note which can be generated and collated into one packet.

This page also provides a way to generate a truth-in-lending form for Perkins PNote, health professional, and university loan promissory notes.

If you use an external source to print your forms, you should define the package to collate the list of supported forms in the order of your preference. For example, if you use an external product, you can build your package with a cover letter (CVRLTR0201_E), MPN note (MPN0400_E), PLUS promissory note (FEDPLS0400_E), and a Perkins note (PERKNS_E). When the Pnote print process is run, the system prints the forms in the order they are defined in the package.

If you use the positional print option, you should define a package and list the types of forms you want to produce. For example, you can build your package with a MPN note, PLUS promissory note, and a Perkins note. The cover letter and truth-in-lending forms cannot be produced using the positional print option. You need to run the Pnote print process once for each form that is defined in the package. The system provides data that is printed directly on preprinted forms from the paper tray. It does not support a collated version.

Note. You must set up all PNote document types regardless of whether or not you participate in or use documents related to the loan programs. This requirement applies to both positional print and external product print institutions.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up Loan Types for Direct Lending

You set up loan types, such as a direct lending subsidized type, to group processing information together and then associate certain item types to the loan type. This information is kept in the Loan Type Table, which is accessed from the Loan Type Table component. You can associate certain loan item types with the information you enter in the Loan Type Table.

The CommonLine loan processing also uses the Loan Type Table, so you only use three of the four pages in this component for Direct Lending setup. Only those three pages are shown here.

Entering the Loan Type

Access the Loan Type Table page.

You can enter a Descr (description) and a Short Desc for the Loan Type.

Processing

Loan Category

Select Subsidized, Unsubsidized, or PLUS depending on the type of loan you are defining. Do not select any option except one of these for direct lending. If you select PLUS, a Graduate PLUS Indicator check box displays. Select the check box for Grad PLUS loans.

Loan Program

Select the Direct option for direct lending.

For example, to set up a Subsidized Stafford loan processed through direct lending, the Loan Category is Subsidized and the Loan Program is Direct.

Loan Refund Indicator

Select one of the following.

Borrower: The borrower of the loan receives any refunds from the loan. For example, the borrower could be a parent or guardian for a PLUS loan.

Student: The student receives any refunds from the loan, whether they are the borrower or not.

You can override the Loan Refund Indicator at the loan application level.

Requirements

Select the appropriate options for the loan by selecting the check boxes. Only those check boxes used for direct lending are explained.

Note. The Loan References Required, Nbr Ref Rq (number of references required), Loan Cosigner Required, Nbr Csg Rq (number of cosigners required), and Cosigner Required Amount fields are used for CommonLine loans only and are not relevant for direct lending.

Credit Check Required

Select if a credit check is required for type of loan. If selected, direct loan disbursements to the students and transmissions to the LOC do not occur until the credit check is accepted. Select this check box for PLUS loans.

Loan Fee Rate

Enter the maximum number of disbursements allowed per loan. The recommended values are 20 for Stafford loans and 4 for PLUS loans.

Min Loan Amt (minimum loan amount)

Enter the minimum loan amount your institution allows. The value should not be less than the COD minimum.

Loan Item Types

SetID

The Set ID you select determines the Item Types available for you to select.

Item Type

Your selection available depends on the Set ID that you entered. For direct lending you cannot have multiple financial ad item types associated with the same loan type. You must create a separate loan type for each direct lending item type you want to process. You cannot share financial aid item types across multiple loan types. If you try to use the same item type with a new or another loan type setup, you receive an error message.

The following field values are associated with the Item Type you select.

Loan Fee

Displays the type of loan fee associated with the item type selected. When you insert a row, you can use the inner scroll bar to view the new rebate loan fee percentage.

Ln Fee Amt (loan fee amount)

Displays the dollar amount of the loan fee for the item type selected.

Loan Fee Typ (loan fee type)

Displays the loan fee type associated with the financial aid item type. For direct lending you should have a row for rebate and a row for loan fees.

Ln Fee Pct (loan fee percentage)

Displays the loan fee percentage charged for the Item Type selected. These values are from your item type setup. Direct subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans for 2001-2002 have a loan origination fee of 3%. PLUS loans have a loan origination fee of 4%. The system also displays the interest rebate of 1.50% for the direct loan rebate.

Note. Loan fees are set up using the Loan Fee Table. You must have loan fees set up for subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans (3%), a loan fee for PLUS loans (4%), and a loan interest rebate fee (1.5%).

Entering Direct Lending Loan Options

Access the Direct Loan Options page.

The system displays the Aid Year, Academic Institution, Loan Type, Loan Program, and Loan Ctgry (loan category).

Direct Loan Options

This group box allows you to specify the conditions for disbursing funds to the students and sending disbursement files to the direct lending Loan Origination Center.

Use Direct Loan Version

Displays the direct lending version you are using.

Days to Add to Inserted Disb (disbursement)

This is used for Stafford loans only. When entering an additional disbursement, the system adds the value specified in this field to the current date. This date becomes the anticipated disbursement date on the Origination Change Record for the added disbursement. This field allows you to add days to the anticipated disbursement date so the money is actually disbursed later than the anticipated disbursement date. For example, you can take a loan that is being processed today and use this field to add days to the anticipated disbursement date that is placed on the Loan Origination record. This makes the date reported to the COD later than the disbursement date. This field is not commonly used since generally institutions want to disburse sooner, not later.

DL Disbursement Option

Indicates when you want the system to allow loans to be disbursed to the student's accounts.

Orig Ack: Disburses loans after you receive the Origination Acknowledgment.

Orig: Disburses loans after you originate the loan.

Orig+PNote: Disburses loans after you receive the origination and promissory note acknowledgments.

PNote Ack: Disburses loans after you receive the promissory note acknowledgment.

DL Transmit Disb Optn (direct lending transmit disbursement option)

Indicates when you want the system to allow transmission of disbursement files to the LOC.

Orig Ack: Transmits direct lending disbursements after you receive the origination acknowledgment.

Orig+PNote: Transmits direct lending disbursements after you receive the origination acknowledgment and the LOC accepts the promissory note.

Note. If the Credit Check Required check box is selected on the Loan Type Table page, direct loan disbursements to students and transmissions to the COD do not occur until the credit check is accepted. Therefore, the values entered in the DL Disbursement Option and DL Transmit Disb Option fields are subject to the Credit Check Required check box value.

Warning! Changes to either of the DL Disbursement Option and DL Transmit Disb Option parameter settings will not affect loans already originated if the parameter settings are changed after the loans have been originated. Changes to these settings will only affect loans originated at the time of the setting. If you have loans originated in error, please contact the Global Support Center.
