Gainful Employment Import
After GE Submittal files are exported and sent to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for evaluation, the NSLDS may return FVT/GE Error/Acknowledgement files with detail records that require corrections. The returned files are extracted from the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) TG mailbox and placed on a local drive (EDE Path). From the local drive, the files are available to be imported into Anthology Student. You can use the Gainful Employment Import page to import an error/acknowledgement file.
The import of acknowledgement files involves two tabs on the Gainful Employment Import page.
-
On the Process tab, specify the data selection criteria and queue the job. The job will run in the background.
-
On the History tab, review the result of the background job.

Procedure to Import Gainful Employment Files
Process Tab
-
The Campus EDE Path of the user's default campus is displayed.
-
In the Message Class drop-down list, select one of the following options:
- Program Error/Ack or File Level Error
- Student Error/Ack or File Level Error
The acknowledgement file will list the first five errors on records submitted in the submittal file with error code. The file will contain only a header and trailer record if no errors exist.
For the fixed width format (Program) Error / Acknowledgment files named GEFVPFOP, the system:
-
Identifies each data field in the GE Error / Acknowledgment file according to the record layout and field definition specifications in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) FVT/GE User Guide.
-
Identifies all errors for each Detail record within the GE Error / Acknowledgment File.
-
Automatically generates a GE Error / Acknowledgment report after the GE Error / Acknowledgment file is imported. The report displays each Detail record along with all the fields in error and the appropriate error code for each field in error.
-
Keeps track of each imported GE Error / Acknowledgment File along with the Detail records of each file for record keeping and reporting purposes.
-
Generates the GE Error Submittal file in the same data format and record layout as the data format and record layout for the GE Submittal file.
-
Choose a file in the Available Files drop-down list. The files are named based on the message class.
- For a Program Level file, the message class is GEFVPFOP.
- For a Student Level file, the message class is GERFLEOP.
Once an import file has been processed, it's renamed to BK in the EDE Path.
Example: GEFVPFOP.001 will be renamed to GEFVPFBK.001.
