Concept: NSLDS Data in Packaging

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) collects student loan data, such as:

Aggregate loan amounts.

Federal Pell Grant lifetime eligibility.

Workday receives NSLDS data through NSLDS transactions. NSLDS transactions linked to an award year occur when you import a student’s ISIR. You can also request NSLDS data from the Department of Education (ED) by running the TSM and FAH NSLDS Outbound
integration. To import the data that ED returns, you can use the TSM and FAH NSLDS Inbound
integration. To view NSLDS data for a student, navigate to the

NSLDS

tab on the Financial Aid profile group of their student profile. You can edit the data or override NSLDS flags. See:

Override NSLDS Aggregates

Override Adverse NSLDS Flags

When need packaging runs, Workday uses data from the most recent NSLDS transaction that exists as of the first disbursement in the financial aid award year. During packaging, Workday uses NSLDS data to:

Calculate award amounts for Pell Grant and Direct Loan awards.

Determine eligibility for these awards by assessing the amount remaining of a student’s lifetime loan limit amount.

NSLDS only provides Workday with summary data. Our calculations don’t include historical detail about which loans are included in NSLDS aggregates.

Workday doesn’t automatically run packaging when it receives updated NSLDS or FAH data. You can use custom reports and calculated fields to identify students who have updated data and manually repackage them as necessary.

You can view the NSLDS aggregate amounts that Workday used in a financial aid package on the

report. To access the report, navigate to the

Total Financial Assistance

tab on the Financial Aid profile group of a student’s profile and select
