NSLDS Record Layout Correction

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) recently announced a correction to three record layout errors in their Loan Record Detail Report (LRDR).

Before the correction, the trailer record in the new layouts was inconsistent with the header and detail record layouts. The following layouts were affected:

• DRC015 - NSLDS 24-Month School Repayment Information Loan Record Detail Report
• DRC016 - NSLDS 36-Month School Repayment Information Loan Record Detail Report
• DRC035 - NSLDS School Cohort Default Rate History Report

The updated record layouts are posted to the NSLDS Record Layouts page on the IFAP website and detailed information can be found in NSLDS Newsletter 30. If you have questions, contact the NSLDS Customer Support Center at 800.999.8219 (toll-free) or nslds@ed.gov.
