1.0 Introduction
This User Guide provides instructions on how to use Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) online, how to request Financial Aid History (FAH), and the TSM/FAH Batch process.
1.1 What is Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM)?
In accordance with final regulations published on November 1, 2000, and on July 1, 2001, NSLDS implemented a new Transfer Student Monitoring Process for students who transfer from one school to another during the same award year. Under the Transfer Student Monitoring Process, a school ‘Informs’ NSLDS of its transfer students, NSLDS ‘Monitors’ changes in the financial aid history of those students, and ‘Alerts’ the school of any relevant changes.
In order to monitor students you, as the school, must have at least one authorized online NSLDS User. The User will need to establish a School Transfer Profile on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site (NSLDSFAP).  Although it is not required, but recommended, schoolsmay sign up at FSAWebenroll.ed.gov to use the “Inform”feature for the TSM/FAH batch service.
After a school informs NSLDS of a transfer student, NSLDS monitors changes to the student’s financial aid history information from the date that the latest Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) for the student was generated and sent to the school. NSLDS checks to see if there have been any changes in the student’s financial aid history that may be relevant to the student’s eligibility for aid at the new school. Such changes might include a new or cancelled loan or a new or revised disbursement of a loan or grant. NSLDS continues to monitor changes in the student’s financial aid history after the last Alert it sent to the school.
1.2 What is Financial Aid History (FAH)?
According to Dear Colleague Letter GEN 01-09, schools can requesta FAH of a transfer student to confirm a student’s eligibility for Title IV aid. NSLDS combines the Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) and Financial Aid History (FAH) batch processes into one input format file and one output format file. FAH informs schools of a student’s default on a Title IV loan, obligation to an overpayment of Title IV aid, and it assists in the determination of the type and amounts of aid that the student is eligible to receive.
Additionally, schools may submit FAHrequest on the NSLDSFAP under the Report tab by selecting the Request for Financial Aid History Report, see Section 3.1.
2.0 Transfer Student Monitoring on the Web

Figure 2 1, NSLDS Professional Access Web site Menu page
The Transfer Student Monitoring section is located on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site(NSLDSFAP) under the TRAN tab and Transfer Monitoring Column (Figure 2 1) and it includes:
1.    Transfer Monitoring List page – This page displays detailed transfer monitoring student information that can be updated or deleted.
2.    Monitoring Alert Review page – On this page you can monitor the list of changes that NSLDS sends you regarding student aid information that may affect eligibility for the current award year.
3.    Transfer Monitoring Re-Populate page – On this page you can retrieve those students previously submitted that no longer display on the Transfer Monitoring List page. This will allow the user to add students back to the Transfer Monitoring List for additional monitoring.
4.    School Transfer Profile page – This page displays school contact information for the Transfer Student Monitoring process. This page also displays information on your school setup for submitting Inform files and receiving Alert notifications. This information is provided and updated by school users, and must be completed prior to submitting your school's first Inform.
The following sections will take you through the steps on how to setup and utilize Transfer Student Monitoring.
2.1 School Transfer Profile
In order to monitor students you must have at least one authorized online NSLDS User. The User will need to establish a School Transfer Profile on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site.
2.1.1 School Transfer Profile Add

Figure 2 2, School Transfer Profile Add Page
The School Transfer Profile Add page is the first page a school must complete before using the Transfer Student Monitoring process. This page is accessible on TRAN tab or from the Main Menu page by clicking the School Transfer Profile page link in the Transfer Monitoring Column (Figure 2 1).
The School Transfer Profile Add page allows you to add your School Transfer Profile information, which includes contact information as well as preferences for submitting Inform files, receiving Alert notifications and selecting the duration of the monitoring (in number of days).You must complete this page before submitting your first Inform data.
The School Transfer Profile Add page displays the following fields, which need to be completed by the School:
•    First Name—The first name of the school contact.
•    Last Name—The last name of the school contact.
•    Title—The school contact’s title.
•    Phone—The school contact’s phone number and extension.
•    E-mail—The e-mail address of the person(s) assigned to receive Alert notifications.  You may use a group e-mail address established by your school if you would like more than one person to receive Alert messages.  If an Alert has been generated for your school, NSLDS sends an e-mail to the contact listed on the School Transfer Profile page, stating that an alert file for the school is available.
•    Inform—The SAIG mailbox from which Inform Batch Files will be submitted.  Anyone with a User ID associated with this school can submit an Inform file via batch.  A school also can request that an outside agency, such as a servicer, submits Inform files. However, the school must provide a SAIG mailbox from which those files will be sent. If a servicer is chosen, the “Is this your Servicer for Transfer Monitoring?” box must be checked.  These fields are optional for schools that opt to use the NSLDSFAP web site solely for managing their Transfer Monitoring List.
Note:  A SAIG mailbox is the TG number used to transmit data.  It starts with “TG.”
•    Monitoring—This field tracks the monitoring time period (in number of days) designated by a school for monitoring their transfer students.
Note: The Monitoring Duration,which defaults to 90 days but can be updated between 30-120 days.
•    Alert—A school must indicate whether it wants Alert information via the Web Only or via Web and Batch Files.  One of the options must be checked.  A SAIG mailbox must be provided by the school if the Web and Batch File option is selected. This is the mailbox where the Alert Batch File records are sent.
•    SAIG Mailbox—If the school designated “Web and Batch File Alerts” as the output option, provide the TG number to which those Batch File Alerts will be sent.  If the school uses an outside agency, such as a servicer, this TG number must belong to the servicer.  If the school requested Web Only Alerts, this box is blank.
•    Servicer/Non-Servicer Batch Alert Method—If the school designated Web and Batch File Alerts as the output option, provide the format of the Batch File Alert to be received, in either Extract or Report format.  The Extract format is strictly a string of data, usually imported into a spreadsheet format, such as MS Excel or a mainframe.  The Report format presents the data in an easy to read report format.  If the school uses a servicer, select between the Servicer options, otherwise select one of the Non-Servicer options.
The minimum information required for a School Transfer Profile includes:
•    First and Last Names
•    Phone number and extension
•    E-mail address
•    Alert Method
•    Servicer/Non-Servicer Batch Alert Method (if chosen by the school)
Once the profile is completed, click Submit. Once submitted,a message will appear stating that the profile was successfully added.

Figure 2 3, School Transfer Profile Add Page - Successfully Added
•    If a school user tries to access any of the Transfer Monitoring functions before completing the School Transfer Profile, the user will be directed to the School Transfer Profile Add page.
If a school attempts to add a student to its Transfer Monitoring List via batch before completing the School Transfer Profile, NSLDS will reject and send back an error file.This page will only display once.  After the information and preferences on this page are completed, a school must use the School Transfer Profile Update page to make any changes.  Although every NSLDS online user associated with the 8 digit OPEID level has access to complete the School Transfer Profile page you should designate a specific person to manage this page to ensure it is always up to date.
2.2 School Transfer Profile Update

Figure 2 4, School Transfer Profile Page
The School Transfer Profile page (Figure 2 4) provides information about the Transfer Monitoring information on record for the school.It also displays the name of the last person to update the page and the date of the update.
The School Transfer Profile page also displays an Update Button which links the School to the Transfer Profile Update page.

Figure 2 5, School Transfer Profile Update Page
The School Transfer Profile Update page (Figure 2 5) allows you to update the School Transfer Profile information.
The School Transfer Profile Update page displays the same fields as the Add page. Once you have made the necessary changes, click Submit button at the bottom of the page. Once submitted a message will appear stating that the profile was successfully added.

2.3 Transfer Monitoring List

Figure 2 7, Transfer Monitoring List Page
The Transfer Monitoring List page (Figure 2 7) is the default page displayed when you click the TRAN tab after your initial completion of the School Transfer Profile Add page. This page lists all students that were submitted by the school via the online Student Monitoring Add page or via the Transfer Monitoring Inform Batch File. If a record was submitted online, the name associated with the user ID of the person creating the record displays under the Last Changed By column.  If the record was submitted via a Transfer Monitoring Inform Batch File, “BATCH” Displays under this column.
The Transfer Monitoring List page displays the following fields:
•    Sort By—This field is located below the Add Studentto Monitoring List button.  The default sort order for the Transfer Monitoring List is alphabetical by Student Last Name.  You may change the sorting order by selecting any of the following options from the dropdown box:

2.4.1 Student Monitoring Add Page

Figure 2 8, Student Monitoring Add Page
The Student Monitoring Add page (Figure 2 8) allows you to use the Web to inform NSLDS of students to be added to the Transfer Monitoring List.  If you are adding a student to the Transfer Monitoring List who is not in the NSLDS database, the student is only added to the Transfer Monitoring List and does not display on any other pages of the NSLDS Professional Access Web site.  This page is accessible from the Transfer Monitoring List page or from a student’s Loan History or Grants History page by selecting the Add Student to Monitoring List button.
The Student Monitoring Add page displays the following fields:
•    SSN—The student’s Social Security number.  It automatically displays when the Student Monitoring Add page is accessed from the Loan History, Grants History, or Transfer Monitoring List pages, assuming a student has been selected.
•    First Name—The student’s first name.  It automatically displays when the Student Monitoring Add page is accessed from the Loan History, Grants History, or Transfer Monitoring List pages, assuming a student has been selected.
•    Last Name—The student’s last name.  It automatically displays when the Student Monitoring Add page is accessed from the Loan History, Grants History, or Transfer Monitoring List pages, assuming a student has been selected.
•    Date of Birth—The student’s date of birth.  It automatically displays when the Student Monitoring Add page is accessed from the Loan History, Grants History, or Transfer Monitoring List pages, assuming a student has been selected.
•    Enrollment Begin Date—The date reported for when a student is to begin classes at the school.  You must type a date in this box in the format indicated.
•    Monitor Begin Date—The date the school wants NSLDS to begin monitoring the student.  Today’s date will display by default, but this date can be changed as necessary.  You may request monitoring to begin on a future date.  If the date is a future date, make sure the date is not after the date you have listed as the Enrollment Begin Date.
To add the student to the school’s Transfer Monitoring List, click the Submit button.
2.4.2 Student Monitoring Detail

Figure 2 9, Student Monitoring Detail Page

2.4.2.1 Student Monitoring Update

Figure 2 10, Student Monitoring Update Page
The Student Monitoring Update page (Figure 2 10) allows you to update the student’s Transfer Monitoring Detail information and is accessible from the Student Monitoring Detail page.
The Student Monitoring Update page displays the same fields as the Add page. Once you have made the necessary changes, click theSubmit button at the bottom of the page. Once submitted,a message will appear stating that the profile was successfully updated.
2.4.2.2 Student Monitoring Delete

Figure 2 11, Student Monitoring Delete Page
The Student Monitoring Delete page (Figure 2 11) allows you to delete the student from your school’s Transfer Monitoring List or Inform Batch File. Student Monitoring records should only be deleted if the student will not be attending your school or was added in error.  Do not delete a student simply to stop monitoring him or her.
Schools’ capability to update the Monitoring Duration time period (selecting from a 30-120 day range instead of a fixed period of 90 days at all times), as part of the School Transfer Profile, provides schools greater flexibility in controlling the monitoring time periods for records. This added flexibility eliminates the need to stop a record from being monitored, as monitoring will automatically stop for all students once the Monitoring Duration time period (30-120 days after the Enrollment Begin Date) has been reached.
The Student Monitoring Delete page displays after you click the Delete button on the Student Monitoring Detail page.  This page confirms the student’s deletion from the Transfer Student Monitoring process.  Once the delete has been confirmed, the student’s information is removed from the Transfer Monitoring List or Inform Batch File, if applicable.
To delete a record, click the Confirm button at the bottom of the page.  Deletion ends the Monitoring process and removes the student from the Transfer Monitoring List.  A record of the deletion is maintained by NSLDS for auditing purposes.
2.4.3 Loan History
The Loan History page provides you a link to the Student Monitoring Add page or the Student Monitoring Detail page, depending on whether the student is already on the Transfer Monitoring List for your school or not.  Once a student record has been retrieved, the student identifiers display at the top of the page under the Student Search Boxes.  Below these identifiers, the information icon and a command button display.
•    If the student displayed is not on the Transfer Monitoring List for your school, the Add Student to Monitoring List button displays (Figure 2 12).  Clicking this button links you to the Student Monitoring Add page (Figure 2 8).  You will only need to complete the Enrollment Begin Date and Monitoring Begin Date—if other than the default date—and select the Submit button to have the student added to your Inform list.

2.5 Monitoring Alert Review

Figure 2 16, Monitoring Alert Review Page
The Monitoring Alert Review page (Figure 2 16) lists all students on a school’s Transfer Monitoring List for whom relevant changes in aid history have been reported.
NSLDS sets an Alert on any student listed on a school’s Transfer Monitoring List whenever a relevant aid history change has been reported on a student’s record.  Any authorized NSLDS user for a school can view the school’s current Monitoring Alert Review list online at any time.  In addition, a school can request that any Alerts be sent in an Alert Batch File via its SAIG mailbox (or the school servicer’s SAIG mailbox). The school’s requested Alert Method is displayed on the School Transfer Profile (Figure 2 4).
Note:  Go to the School Transfer Profile Update page (Figure 2 5) if you would like to change the method in which NSLDS sends your school an Alert.  The next Alert notification will use the updates.
A student’s record will be monitored for up to the number of monitoring days specified on the school’s profile after the Enrollment Begin Date reported by the school.  On the day after this monitoring time period ends, the record will drop off from both the Transfer Monitoring List and Monitoring Alert Review pages.  Be aware of the timing of the Alert process when you attempt to review Alerts as records may have dropped from the Monitoring Alert Review page if the number of monitoring days for the records was exceeded (see Section 4.1 Transfer Monitoring Summary Report to help reconcile records NSLDS identified during the Alert process).
The Monitoring Alert Review page displays the following fields:
•    Monitoring Results as of—Located directly below the title.  This date indicates when the last Monitoring process occurred. It is automatically updated after NSLDS runs the weekly Monitoring process.
•    Sort By—This field is located directly below the “Monitoring results as of” date. The default sort order for this list is alphabetical by Student Last Name. The default display sort order for the Transfer Monitoring List is broken into two sections: Reviewed and Not Reviewed.A record with no check mark in the Reviewed box will display at the top of the list alphabetically by last name. Records that have check marks in the Reviewed boxes will display next, also alphabetically by last name. You may change the sorting order by selecting any of the following options from the dropdown box-
    Name
    SSN
    Alert Date
    Enrollment Begin Date
    Monitor Begin Date
    Loan First
    Grant First
•    Display Only—You can filter the list by providing any of the Display Only fields and selecting the Retrieve button.  You may specify a group of students on the list to be displayed by the following filtering fields:
    SSN
    Last Name
    Date Alerted
    Enrollment Begin Date
    Loans Only
    Grants Only
Sorting/filtering will take place when you click the Retrieve button.  The list displays up to 75 records per scrollable page. Next and Previous navigation arrows are displayed at the bottom and top of page, respectively, if more than 75 records exist
Below the Sort By/Display Only box, the Student Record Information box displays. The following fields are included in this box:
•    SSN—The student’s Social Security number.
•    Name—The student’s first and last name.
•    DOB—The student’s date of birth.
•    Change/Reviewed—This column lists links to the changes that prompted the Alert.  A column of check boxes is also displayed.  Once an Alert is reviewed, check the box to mark it as reviewed.  Clicking the link to the Alert information does not check the Reviewed box automatically.  If the school requested that its Alerts be sent via Alert Batch File, any change reported via batch is automatically checked online as Reviewed.
•    Date Alerted—The date when NSLDS added the student’s record to the Monitoring Alert Review list and/or sent an Alert Batch File on the student to the school, if applicable.
•    Enrollment Begin Date—The date the student is scheduled to begin classes at the school.
•    Monitor Begin Date—The date the school wants NSLDS to begin monitoring the student.
The Submit button at the bottom of the page applies the Reviewed checked boxes, saves updates to the database, and re-orders the list by checked Reviewed boxes.
2.5.1 Loan Alert Display

Figure 2 17, Loan Alert Display Page
The Loan Alert Display page (Figure 2 17) is accessible from the Monitoring Alert Review page and allows users to review the most recent information reported that may affect a student’s eligibility for Title IV loans at his or her school.
Changes that prompt an Alert for loans are:
•    New loan reported [Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), Direct Loan, or Perkins].
•    New disbursement or reduction in disbursed amount on an existing loan (FFEL, Direct Loan, or Perkins).
•    A change in the amount of Outstanding Principal Balance (OPB) on an existing loan (FFEL, Direct Loan, or Perkins).

•    New, increased, or decreased cancellation amount reported on a loan.
•    Change in amount of loan (FFEL, Direct Loan, or Perkins).
If the student had a relevant change reported on a loan, the Loan link displays on the Monitoring Alert Review page. Clicking the Loan link takes you to the student’s Loan Alert Display (Details for Loan) page (Figure 2 17) for that specific loan to view the change reported.
If the student has changes to more than one loan, multiple Loan links display, each taking you to the Loan Detail page for the specific loan you have selected.
2.5.2 Grant Alert Display

Figure 2 18, Grant Alert Display Page
The Grant Alert Display page (Figure 2 18) is accessible from the Monitoring Alert Review page and allows users to review the most recent information reported that may affect a student’s eligibility for Pell, Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACGs), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART), or Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants.
Changes that prompt an Alert for Grants are:
•    New Pell, ACGs, National SMART or TEACH Grants reported.
•    New disbursements or reduction in disbursed amount on existing Pell, ACGs, National SMART or TEACH Grants.
•    Change in Award Amounts for Pell, ACGs, National SMART and TEACH Grants.

If the student had a relevant change reported on a Grant, the Grant link displays on the Monitoring Alert Review page. Clicking the Grant link takes you to the student’s Grant Alert Display (Grant History) page (Figure 2 18) to view change(s) reported for Pell, ACGs, National SMART and TEACH Grants.
If a student has changes to more than one grant on the same alert day, multiple Grant links display, available for review.
Note:  A blue® icon will display to the left of the grant that is “Under Review”only when the student’s Grant History is accessed from the Monitoring Alert Review page. The ®will not be visible if the student’s Grant History is accessed from the Menu or Aid tabs.
2.6 Transfer Monitor Re-Populate

Figure 2 19, Transfer Monitoring Re-Populate Page
The Transfer Monitoring Re-Populate page (Figure 2 19) allows school users to retrieve student records previously submitted, either from Inform Batch File submissions or Student Monitoring Add Web entry, which are no longer active (have exceeded the number of days set as the user-specified Monitoring Duration period from their Enrollment Begin Date) or no longer display on the Transfer Monitoring List page for their school. This allows the school to add students back to the Transfer Monitoring List for additional monitoring from one Monitoring Duration period to another (see NSLDS Newsletter 23 at http://ifap.ed.gov/nsldsmaterials/Newsletter23.html for additional details).
The Transfer Monitoring Re-Populate page displays the following fields:

The Re-Populate Transfer Monitoring List page (Figure 2 20) allows school users to update Transfer Monitoring information for student records previously submitted, either from Inform Batch File submissions or Student Monitoring Add Web entry, which are no longer active or display on the Transfer Monitoring List page for their school. This allows the school to add students back to the Transfer Monitoring List for additional monitoring.
Below the title, the Currently Retrieved/Sorted by box displays with the Retrieve/Sort By option selected by the user from the Transfer Monitoring Re-Populate page, followed by the entry box containing the Global Data Entry row (the row displaying your Monitoring Duration days) at the top and the Student Data Entry rows (the rows displaying the Enroll Begin Date and Monitor Begin Date entry fields). The following fields are included in this box, some of which may be updated:
Global Data Entry Row
•    Check All Button—Selects all records on the page for updates.
•    Enrollment Begin Date—The date the student is scheduled to begin classes at the school. This field pre-populates the Enroll. Begin Date for each individual checked record.
•    Monitor Begin Date—The date the school wants NSLDS to begin monitoring the student.  This field pre-populates the Monitor Begin Date for each individual checked record.  You may request monitoring to begin on a future date.  If the date is a future date, make sure the date is not after the date you have listed as the Enrollment Begin Date.
•    Monitoring Duration—This field tracks the monitoring time period (in number of days) designated by a school for monitoring their student transfer records. It is a read-only field that can only be updated from the School Transfer Profile Update page (Figure 2 5).
Student Data Entry Rows:
•    Check Box—Selects an individual monitoring record for updates.
•    SSN—The student’s Social Security number (read-only field).
•    Name—The student’s first and last name (read-only field).
•    DOB—The student’s date of birth (read-only field).
•    Enroll. Begin Date—The date the student is scheduled to begin classes at the school.
•    Monitor Begin Date—The date the school wants NSLDS to begin monitoring the student.  You may request monitoring to begin on a future date.  If the date is a future date, make sure the date is not after the date you have listed as the Enroll. Begin Date.
•    Last Changed By—This field displays the name of the person who added or made the last update to this student’s monitoring record, and the date that change was made.  If the student was added or last updated via the Inform batch process, “BATCH” and the process date display.
•    Submit Checked Rows Button—Submits all record updates.
•    Reset Rows Button—Resets all updates to the original values when the page was accessed.
The Re-Populate Transfer Monitoring List page displays up to 20 student records at a time. If more than 20 records exist, the Next and Previous navigation arrows will display at the top and bottom of the page, respectively, to move from page to page.
A school may update Transfer Student Monitoring information on the Re-Populate Monitoring List page.  To update this information, a school may follow the following steps:
1. From the Global Data Entry Row, enter an enrollment date in the Enrollment Begin Date entry box. This date is used to pre-populate the Enroll. Begin Date entry box of each individual student record you select as part of step 3 below.
2. From the Global Data Entry Row, enter a monitor date in the Monitor Begin Date entry box, or accept the default date (the current date) displayed on the page. This date is used to pre-populate the Monitor Begin Date entry box of each individual student record you select as part of step 3 below.
3. Select the Transfer Student Monitoring records you want to re-populate. There are two ways to do this:
a.    Select the records individually by clicking the check box to the left of the student's SSN.
b.    Select all the records displayed on the page by clicking the Check All button from the Global Data Entry Row. (You may individually uncheck records if using the Check All option.)
4. Update, as necessary for each individual student, the information in the following boxes:
a.    Enroll. Begin Date (Enrollment Begin Date)
b.    Monitoring Begin Date
5. Click the Submit Checked Rows button.
6. If the information you submitted passes the edits applied by NSLDS, the data is saved to the database.
If more than 20 records exist, a school must submit the updates to the re-populate records before navigating to the next page by selecting them and clicking on the Submit Checked Rows button. Clicking the Previous or Next navigation arrows before submitting your changes will cause any new entered data to be lost.
2.6.1.1 Errors

Figure 2 21, Re-Populate Transfer Monitoring List Page – with Error Message
If the information a school submitted on the Re-Populate Transfer Monitoring List page contains errors, the page will redisplay (Figure 2 21). A small error icon appears to the left of each record row that contains an error. To find the error message associated with the student record, place the cursor over the icon.
If update errors result from the submittal, there are two ways to resolve the issues:
1.    Edit the data based on the error message(s) for each record displaying the error.
For example, in Figure 2 21, some records display an error icon with mouse over error message(s). Correct the error(s), check the record, and resubmit.
2.    Uncheck the record to not update it when re-submitting.
Once the records are successfully submitted the Re-Populate Transfer Monitoring List page will display the message “Updates complete” (Figure 2 22).  The updated records will now display on the Transfer Monitoring List page.

1.0 Transfer Student Monitoring and Financial Aid History Batch Processes
NSLDS combines the Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) and Financial Aid History (FAH) batch processes into one input format file and one output format file. Below describes the file formatting for the combined file which may be used beginning January 2015 and will replace the earlier version of the Transfer Student Monitoring/Financial Aid History Processes and Batch File Layouts dated February 27, 2014.
As of January 2015, NSLDS will start using the updated layout described in this document. Requests will need to be in the correct file formats and submitted as an input file through the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) message class, TRNINFIN. After NSLDS verifies that the data requests are in the proper file formats, an output processed file will be sent back to the end user. Depending on the data type requested, the output file will be returned through the SAIG in the TRLTRPOP, TRALRTOP, FAHREPOP, or FAHEXTOP message classes.
Because of 2015-2016 processing changes, updates were made to the Transfer Student Monitoring/Financial Aid History batch file record layouts’ field content. The file layout sections include an Add/Modify column annotating specific changes.
1.1 Batch File Process
NSLDS combines the batch TSM and FAH processes. The result is one common input file and one common output file. Schools use one input file to tell NSLDS if it is requesting a student Financial Aid History, adding the student to the Transfer Student Monitoring list, or both (for example, if the school would like NSLDS to provide an FAH, and add the student to the Transfer Student Monitoring list for an Alert if relevant data changes, the current Transfer Student Monitoring rules still apply). Schools use FAH for reasons such as student eligibility, research, trend analysis, and default management.
In accordance with final regulations published on November 1, 2000, and on July 1, 2001, NSLDS implemented a new Transfer Student Monitoring Process for students who transfer from one school to another during the same award year. Under the Transfer Student Monitoring Process, a school ‘Informs’ NSLDS of its transfer students, NSLDS ‘Monitors’ changes in the financial aid history of those students, and ‘Alerts’ the school of any relevant changes.
After a school informs NSLDS of a transfer student, NSLDS monitors changes to the student’s financial aid history information from the date that the latest Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) for the student was generated and sent to the school. NSLDS checks to see if there have been any changes in the student’s financial aid history that may be relevant to the student’s eligibility for aid at the new school. Such changes might include a new or cancelled loan or a new or revised disbursement of a loan or grant. NSLDS continues to monitor changes in the student’s financial aid history after the last Alert it sent to the school.
If there is a relevant change to the student’s financial aid history, NSLDS will ‘Alert’ the school. The school must then review the change to determine if it affects the student’s eligibility for Title IV aid. NSLDS will not ‘Alert’ a school if there are no relevant changes to the student’s financial aid history.
The Transfer Student Monitoring Process is run weekly. After a school informs NSLDS, it must wait 7 days before it can make a disbursement of Title IV aid to an otherwise eligible student.The school does not have to wait, however, if it receives an Alert from NSLDS during the 7-day period or if it obtains the student’s financial aid history information directly by accessing the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/, or by receiving and reviewing the results from a batch Financial Aid History from NSLDS.
In cases where the school makes a disbursement to an eligible student but later receives an Alert from NSLDS, the school must access and review the student’s financial aid history to determine whether an action needs to be taken regarding that disbursement or any subsequent disbursements.
Please note that information about defaulted loans and overpayments will continue to be provided to schools via the NSLDS Postscreening process.
Schools can inform NSLDS of students to be monitored using the Transfer Student Monitoring pages at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/ or by sending an ‘Inform’ batch file to NSLDS. The batch file layouts are provided in this document.
Schools may do the entire Transfer Student Monitoring process using the Web pages. Submitting students to be monitored for the TSM process using the Web pages may be particularly attractive for schools with a relatively small number of transfer students. The batch process enables schools to automate the process for data exchange electronically rather than using the Web pages. Schools may use both methods if they choose. For example, a school may choose to send an initial file using the batch process and then use the Web to add additional students or to change or delete students from its Transfer Student Monitoring List.
1.2 Batch Files Used
Because of differences in schools’ computer systems, NSLDS cannot provide software to create batch files. However, this document contains the details needed for a school to create an ‘Inform’ file and to receive Error/Acknowledgment, Financial Aid History, and Alert files.
The batch files consist of the following:
•    TSM/FAH Batch Inform File—Schools use this file to submit a list of students for NSLDS to return an FAH or to monitor transfer students. If requested, NSLDS monitors the students submitted in this batch file and through the NSLDS Professional Access Web site, and Alerts the informing school of any changes affecting student eligibility not covered by the current postscreening process.
•    TSM/FAH Error/Acknowledgment File—NSLDS returns this file to the schools as a receipt of the Batch Inform file. This file will list any errors or warningsthat result from the submission of the Batch Inform file. If there are no errors and no warnings, the Error/Acknowledgment file contains only a Header and Trailer record. There may be more than one error for any given detail record, so the number of records in the Error/Acknowledgment file may be greater than the number of detail records sent in the Batch Inform file. Any error or warning in the Batch Inform file will be identified by the Field Number and an Error/Warning Code.
•    Financial Aid History File—This file contains the student’s full NSLDS Financial Aid History. This file can be received in either extract or report format. The file contains separate records for Aggregates/Perkins/Flags Record; Name History Record(s); Overpayment Record(s); Grant Payment Record(s); and Loan Detail Record(s).
•    TSM Alert File—This file is sent to schools only when a relevant financial aid change has been identified in the record of a student on the school’s Transfer Monitoring List. These changes include new or cancelled loans or grants, new or changed disbursements, and changes to balances of loans. The changes prompting an Alert file donot include newly reported defaulted loans or overpayments – that information will continue to be sent to schools on ISIRs using the existing Postscreening process. The TSM Alert file contains the student’s full NSLDS Financial Aid History with flags designating changes to the student’s grant, loan, or aggregate information. This file can be received in either extract or report format. The file contains separate records for Aggregates/Perkins/Flags Record; Name History Record(s); Overpayment Record(s); Grant Payment Record(s); and Loan Detail Record(s).
All batch files contain one header record, a set of detail records for each student, and one trailer record as indicated below:
Header Record
Detail Record(s) for Student 1
Detail Record(s) for Student 2
Detail Record(s) for Student N
Trailer Record
1.3 Message Classes
There will be multiple message classes for the TSM/FAH batch files: one each for the Inform, the Error/Acknowledgment, the report format TSM Alert, the extract format TSM Alert, the report format FAH, and the extract format FAH. The message class names used to send/receive these files are listed in the following chart:

Message Class

(1) If an error/acknowledgement file is not sent to the schools, or the school servicer’s, receiving SAIG mailbox within the next business day, contact NSLDS Customer Support (800-999-8219) for assistance.
(2) The Department of Education’s (ED’s) transmission software has the mailboxes predefined.
(3)This message class and corresponding record layout is also generated when requesting the FAT001 Web report from the NSLDS Professional Access Web site https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/.
(4)(5)These message classes and corresponding extract record layouts and reports are also generated when requesting the FAT001 Web report from the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/.
(6)The message class length remains 500 bytes long.
As in the past, before submitting any student records to NSLDS for the Transfer Student Monitoring process, schools must access and complete their School Alert Profile on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/. Schools can designate a servicer to submit Inform and receive Alert information. This arrangement, however, must be reported on the School Alert Profile page by providing the servicer’s TG number. Schools sign up for the TSM/FAH batch process on the FSA enrollment Web site, http://www.fsawebenroll.ed.gov/.
1.4 Definitions of Columns
The following column labels are used in all file layout tables presented in this document.
•    Field Number—Number assigned to a specific block of information. This number will easily identify which field is in error on an Error/Acknowledgment file.
•    Position From—Position in the file in which a specific block of information begins.
•    Position To—Position in the file in which a specific block of information ends.
•    Added/Modified—For information purposes only. It is to be used as a reference to determine quickly what has changed from previous publications.
•    Attribute—Name of the specific field.
•    Description—Description of the information held in a specific field.
•    Field Format—Denotes what type of data can be reported in a specific field. For example, a Field Format that says Date will create an error if it contains letters. All dates are in CCYYMMDD format.
•    Field Length—Number of bytes in the file occupied by a specific block of information.

2.0 Transfer Student Monitoring and Financial Aid History Batch Inform File Layouts
2.1 Batch Inform File Layouts
Schools create this file to submit a list of students to NSLDS to request FAHs, add students to the TSM list, or both. NSLDS will return FAHs, monitor the students provided on this file, or do both as requested.
The following record layouts describe the input Header, Detail, and Trailer records for the Batch Inform file created by schools or school servicers. Schools using the batch process are required to create their Batch Inform file following these standards. Records not meeting format requirements or which fail edits will be rejected. These records must be resubmitted or entered on the Web for the student to be monitored.
The TSM/FAH Batch Inform file may be submitted as often as needed by a school and can include TSM informs only or a combination of TSM informs and FAH requests. NSLDS expects to review files as received and return an Error/Acknowledgment file shortly thereafter. A school may submit multiple files in a day if it so chooses. An Error/Acknowledgment file will be sent in response to each Batch Inform file received and accepted by NSLDS. If an entire TSM/FAH Batch Inform file errors out, the school or servicer will not receive an Error/Acknowledgment file. In that case, the school or servicer should call the NSLDS Customer Support Center for assistance.
Remember, before submitting your first Batch Inform file for the Transfer Student Monitoring process, you must set up the school’s preferences. If the School Transfer Profile page has not been completed on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site (https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/, the entire Batch Inform file will be rejected.
To set or change the school’s preferences, click the Tran tab and then select School Transfer Profile, or go to the Transfer Monitoring section of the Menu page and click the School Transfer Profile link. After your school’s Transfer Profile has been completed, you may submit your batch file.
2.1.1 Batch Inform Header Record Layout
The first record in the file must be a Header record. The Header record must be populated exactly as stated or the entire file may be rejected. The length of the Batch Inform Header record file is 150 bytes long. Any file that is rejected must be reprocessed in order to add the students to the Transfer Student Monitoring list.
•    Record Type Indicator—If this field contains any character other than a 0 (zero), the entire Batch Inform file will be rejected.
•    Header Title—If this field contains any information other than TSM/FAH INFORM HEADER (all in UPPER CASE), the entire Batch Inform file will be rejected.
•    School Code—This is the school’s Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier (OPEID*) 8-digit number. If this OPEID number does not match the current listing of valid school codes, or if the SAIG mailbox from which the file is sent does not match the OPEID number in the Batch Inform file, the file will be rejected. Servicers must submit a header record for each school.
*OPEID is the combination of the 6 digit school code and the 2 digit school location code. If a school has more than 99 locations, the first digit of the OPEID is then incremented to 1.  If more than 199 locations, the first digit is then incremented to 2, and so forth. (Examples:  location 00 = 06789900, location 101 = 16789901, location 202 = 26789902)
•    Servicer Code—If the school chooses to have a servicer submit the Batch Inform file on its behalf, the Servicer must fill in the Servicer Code field. If the school is submitting the file on its own behalf, this field must contain zeros.
•    Submittal Date—This date must be in CCYYMMDD format (2-digit Century, 2-digit Year, 2-digit Month, 2-digit Day).
•    Submittal Sequence Number—When a school or servicer submits a Batch Inform file, the first file must contain 01 in this field. If the school or servicer submits more than one file per day, this number must increment for each subsequent file submitted. This allows the school to recognize the submission for which it is receiving an Error/ Acknowledgment file. This field must contain numbers only.
•    Report Type for FAH—The FAH is available in a report or extract format. A school or servicer indicates preference in this field. Transfer Student Monitoring Alert preferences are determined by the information provided on the School Transfer Profile page on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/.
•    Filler—This is left as blank space. If NSLDS or ED later determines that more information is needed in the Header record, additional fields will be added here.

2.1.2 Batch Inform Detail Record Layout
A separate record is created for each student submitted in the Batch Inform file. You may submit as many records in one submittal as you wish. A Batch Inform file can also be used to update or delete a student from the Monitoring List.
NSLDS will process all records received and accepted. If a new record is received, NSLDS will determine if the request is for a FAH, an addition to the Monitoring List or both. If you wish to change information previously submitted, resend the record with the new information. NSLDS will update the record with the new information. You may also delete a record by populating field 208 with Y. To delete a record, all the student identifiers and the Enrollment Begin Date must match the previously submitted values.
•    Record Type Indicator—If this field contains any character other than a 1 (one), the entire Batch Inform file will be rejected.
•    Student’s Social Security number (SSN)—TheSSNof the student being sent. After the initial creation of the list, this field can be used to update or delete a student from the Monitoring List.
If the SSN submitted does not match an SSN in NSLDS:
    For the Batch Inform file, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgment file with warning code 701 “This student has been added to the Monitoring list, but cannot be found on the database.” When a Data Provider submits information on this student that adds the student to the database, an Alert will be generated.
    For FAH requests, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgement file with error code 101: “Student SSN not found.”
•    First Name—First name of the student being sent.
If the SSN reported matches with the NSLDS database, but the name reported in this field does not match:
    For the Batch Inform file, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgment file with warning code 702: “This student has been added to the Monitoring list, but cannot be found on the database.” When a Data Provider submits information on the SSN reported above, the school would receive an Alert, but that file will contain the name and date of birth (DOB) as reported in NSLDS.
    For FAH requests, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgment file error code 100 “Match on SSN. No match on DOB, First Name, Last Name.”
•    Last Name—Last name of the student being sent.
•    Date of Birth—DOB of the student being sent. It must be in CCYYMMDD format. It must also pass reasonability edits.
If the DOB reported makes the student younger than 12, or older than 100, the record will be rejected. This date cannot be in the future.
If the SSN reported matches with the NSLDS database, but the DOB reported in this field does not match:
    For the Batch Inform file, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgment file with warning code 702: “This student has been added to the Monitoring list, but cannot be found on the database.” When a Data Provider submits information on the SSN reported above, the school receives an Alert, but that file will contain the name and DOB as reported in NSLDS.
    For FAH requests, the school will receive an Error/Acknowledgment file error code 100 “Match on SSN. No match on DOB, First Name, Last Name.”
•    Enrollment Begin Date—Must be in CCYYMMDD format. It can be a future date, but not more than 18 months greater than the current date. It cannot be more than 90 days less than current date. For FAH requests only, fill the field with 00000000 (all zeros).
•    Monitor Begin Date—Must be in CCYYMMDD format. It can be a future date, but not greater than the reported Enrollment Begin Date. If the Enrollment Begin Date has already passed, use the submittal date. For FAH requests only, fill the field with 00000000 (all zeros).
•    Delete from Monitoring and Alert List—This is a 1-character field used to specify whether the student is to be deleted from the Monitoring List. The only time this should be populated with ‘Y’ is if the student previously reported for Monitoring is not going to attend that school. ‘N’ indicates that the student is being added or updated. If a student’s record is submitted in more than one Batch Inform file with no changes, any subsequent, identical Batch Informs will be ignored. For FAH requests only, must be space.
•    School Code—This is the school’s OPEID* 8-digit number. If this OPEID number does not match the current listing of valid school codes or if the SAIG mailbox from which the file is sent does not match the OPEID number in the Batch Inform file, the file will be rejected. Servicers must submit a header record for each school.
*OPEID is the combination of the 6 digit school code and the 2 digit school location code. If a school has more than 99 locations, the first digit of the OPEID is then incremented to 1.  If more than 199 locations, the first digit is then incremented to 2, and so forth. (Examples:  location 00 = 06789900, location 101 = 16789901, location 202 = 26789902)
•    Request Indicator—A 1-character code indicating which request is being made.
    Values are:
    T = add the student to the Monitoring list only
    H = FAH only
    B = both
•    Filler—This is left as blank space. If NSLDS or ED later determines that more information is needed in the Detail record, additional fields will be added here.

2.2 Batch Inform Error/Acknowledgment File Layout
The TSM/FAH Inform Error/Acknowledgment file is returned to the school by NSLDS on receipt and acceptance of the TSM/FAH Batch Inform file. This file will list any errors or warningson recordssubmitted in the Batch Inform file. If there are no errors and no warnings, the TSM/FAH Error/Acknowledgment file will contain only a Header and Trailer record. Because there may be more than one error on any given Detail record, the number of records in the Error/ Acknowledgment file may be greater than the number of Detail records sent in the Batch Inform file. Any error or warning in the Batch Inform file will be identified by a Field Number and an Error/Warning Code on the error detail record.
Batch Inform files will be processed as they are received. An Error/Acknowledgment file will be sent in response to each accepted Batch Inform file. Schools are responsible for correcting records that contain errors and students are not processed for FAHs or added to the Transfer Student Monitoring list. Corrections can be done by resending a batch record for the student in a future Batch Inform file, by adding the student to the Monitoring list using the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/, or by requesting an FAH via the Web site Report List by submitting the FAT001 report ID.
There are two types of messages: Errors and Warnings. An Error means the record was not processed for an FAH request or added to the Transfer Student Monitoring List. The error must be corrected as noted above. A Warning indicates that the record was added to the Transfer Student Monitoring List, but the identifiers provided differ from those already on NSLDS. An FAH will not be produced in this case and there will be an error record on the file. The school should check its records to ensure the correct information was provided in the Batch Inform. If correct, no further action is needed. If the data is not correct, the school should reprocess the record with the correct information. Schools can assume that all records not in the Error/Acknowledgement file have been processed.
The following record layouts describe the Header, Detail, and Trailer records for the TSM/FAH Batch Error/Acknowledgment file returned to schools or school servicers by NSLDS.
2.2.1 Batch Inform Error/ Acknowledgment Header Record Layout

3.0 Transfer Student Monitoring Alert/Financial Aid History Batch File Layout
The FAH is sent to schools when requested by the TSM/FAH Batch Inform file. The Transfer Monitoring Alert file is sent to schools by NSLDS only when a relevant financial aid change has been identified in the record of one of the students on the school’s Monitoring List. Each type of file will be identified by the Header Title and by the message class. Alert files are prompted by changes that include new or cancelled loans/grants, disbursements, and changes to loan balances. The changes prompting an Alert file do not include newly reported Defaulted loans or Overpayments. That information will continue to be sent to schools via current Postscreening ISIRs.
The FAH and Transfer Monitoring Alert files will contain the student’s full NSLDS Financial Aid History even if there is a change in a single loan or grant. The grant, loan, or aggregate records that contain a change causing the Alert will be flagged to enable schools to identify the changed records quickly. A grant, loan, or aggregate record will be flagged as a change if the information is different from either the most recent ISIR record or the most recent Alert, whichever is more current.
This file can be received in either an Extract or Report format. The extract file will contain separate record types: Aggregates/Perkins/Flags Record; Name History Record(s); Overpayment Record(s); Grant Payment Record(s); and Loan Detail Record(s).
NSLDS will send an Alert file whenever there is information to report to a school. Since NSLDS gets new data daily, it is possible, but not likely, that a school could receive an Alert file daily. Whenever NSLDS sends an Alert file, an e-mail notice will be sent to the e-mail address as specified in the Transfer School Profile on the NSLDS Professional Access Web site at https://www.nsldsfap.ed.gov/nslds_FAP/.  The alert’s corresponding e-mail notification generated for the school can be identified by the 8-digit OPEID code in the subject line of the e-mail.
3.1 TSM/FAH Header Batch Record Layout
The first record in the file will be a Header record, which will be populated as described in the following table.
•    Report Type—Designates whether the file is in Report or Extract format. It is also identified by message class name.
•    Date—Date the file was generated from NSLDS.
•    Sequence Number—Populated with 01 in this field, if it is the first FAH or Alert sent to the school or servicer on a given day. If more FAHs or Alerts are generated for that school or servicer on the same day, this number will increment for each subsequent file.
