Access To and Use of NSLDS Information

In GEN-05-06 / FP-05-04, the Department of Education (ED) reminds members of the financial aid community who have access to information contained in NSLDS that they are responsible for using their access properly and for protecting the sensitive data contained in the system.

ED is concerned about the misuse of NSLDS. Failure to comply with NSLDS access and use requirements may have serious consequences. ED urges all organizations to provide a copy of the above referenced Dear Colleague Letter GEN-05-06 / FP-05-04 to any of its staff who has access to NSLDS to learn more information about the intended use of NSLDS.

Additionally, an NSLDS session is in the planning stages for OGSLP’s annual conference on June 16. If you have any questions, you may contact Mary Heid, OGSLP’s NSLDS Supervisor, at mheid@osrhe.edu or 405.225.9489.
