NSLDS Calculation of Aggregate Loan Amounts
The Department of Education (ED)
issued Dear
Colleague Letter (DCL) GEN-03-12 that describes
the new procedures used by NSLDS to calculate aggregate loan limits
for the FFEL and Direct Loan programs when students have consolidated
some or all of their student loans.
The Question & Answer document enclosed with the DCL provides additional
guidance for schools to properly determine if an applicant for Title IV Federal
student aid has exceeded, or is close to exceeding, one or more of the aggregate
loan limits that apply to the FFEL and Direct Loan programs.
