If you have Title IV loans, they must be in good standing. If you have a loan that goes into default, your access to the Department's information systems to administer the Title IV Programs under the HEA will be revoked. This means your access to conduct business functions within the Department's IT systems will be revoked. This includes, but not limited to, access to: Common Origination and Disbursement (COD), Financial Aid Administrator (FAA) Access to Central Processing System (CPS) Online, and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS®) will be revoked.
