Inceptia. What's your student loan delinquency rate? While a low CDR may seem reassuring, with 43% of borrowers not making payments, your delinquency rate could reveal a different reality – one that directly impacts your institution's financial aid future.

With the Trump administration and 119th Congress now underway, NASFAA has published a new document of policy priorities aimed at improving federal student aid and expanding access to higher education. The recommendations focus on continuing a smooth implementation of the 2025-26 FAFSA, strengthening student aid programs, streamlining student loan repayment, enhancing student aid delivery, and promoting accountability and transparency. NASFAA has also updated its Financial Aid 101 document that outlines resources to assist members of the 119th Congress. We look forward to working with policymakers across the aisle to advance these priorities.

Before the Biden administration left office, the Department of Education (ED) released a policy memo outlining the department's initiatives to prevent borrowers from entering student loan default and stressing the need for the new administration to continue these efforts in order to keep default rates low.

School A made corrections that were not the result of a professional judgment (PJ) request and set the PJ Flag in the FAFSA Partner Portal (FPP), as instructed by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Now School B is seeing multiple Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) transactions because the student keeps trying to make a correction to add School B's school code.
