This guide and training manual, in loose-leaf format, is intended to assist lenders and schools participating in the Colorado Student Loan Program (CSLP). The manual consists of a series of single page (front and back) "ready references." Each ready reference includes a title followed by information on the subject and suggestions for additional references and information sources. Ready references may also consist of a form or forms designed to assist the Student Loan Officer or Financial Aid Administrator in the processing and maintenance of Guaranteed Student Loan Program records and requirements. The ready references are organized into five sections: Section I offers an overview of CSLP; Section II, on the lender, has nine subsections covering the following topics: origination process, loan servicing, repayment, collections procedures, consolidation, refinancing, the program review process, and record keeping requirements; Section III, on the school, contains seven subsections on borrower eligibility, application process, delivery of loan process, enrollment status, refunds, the program review process, and record keeping requirements; Section IV is a glossary and Section V an index.
