Unallocated Outstanding
Principal Balance or
Unallocated Consolidated
Total
Balance remaining
after Subsidized and
Unsubsidized is
separated out of the
Combined Amount.
The same value will
display in the
Unallocated
Consolidated
Outstanding Principal
Balance as will display
in the Unallocated
Consolidated Total
field as no pending
disbursements exist
for this data.
The Unallocated
Consolidated amount
is likely interest and
fees, but because
NSLDS cannot
guarantee that it is not
another loan, they
recommend including
the unallocated
amount in the
aggregate loan
calculations.
Unallocated Amounts need to
be part of aggregate limit
checks, not annual limit
checks. If a school can
determine that the unallocated
amount is not a loan but rather
interest and fees, they may
adjust the aggregate
calculation to not include the
unallocated amount and
increase the student's
eligibility. In Banner this may
be done by creating a manual
record on RNASLxx or placing
a NSLDS override on
RNARSLT.
Schools should have
supporting documentation of
this information.
May include interest and fees.
