Part I – Loan Origination and Lender Loan Fees
This section is divided into 5 columns. Enter separate line entries for each unique combination of Loan
Type, Fee Code, Fee Percent, and Loan Interest Rate. For each line, if any column is completed, all
columns for that line must be completed. If you do not have anything to report, please indicate this by
inserting zeros in the first line. If applicable, report adjustments to previous quarters. If additional
space is needed, make a copy of the blank page and check the block at the bottom of each page.
Applicability: Most FFEL Program loans are subject to a loan origination fee, which is a percentage of the
loan principal and is deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement. The fee depends on the
period of enrollment covered by the loan. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(HCERA), Public Law 111-152, made significant changes to the federal student loan programs, including
ending new loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Beginning July 1, 2010, all new
subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans, PLUS loans made to parents and graduate/professional
students, and consolidation loans can only be made under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct
Loan) Program.
