1 The repayment phase is the period when student loans must be repaid; it generally begins 6 months after a student leaves an institution. Students who enter the repayment phase during a particular federal fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) make up the cohort for that fiscal year. For example, members of the fiscal year (FY) 2009 cohort entered the repayment phase any time from October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009. | ||||||
2 Default occurs when a borrower fails to make a payment for 270 days. | ||||||
3 The 2-year cohort default rate is the percentage of borrowers entering repayment during one fiscal year and defaulting by the end of the next fiscal year. For example, the 2-year cohort default rate for FY 2009 is the percentage of borrowers who entered repayment during FY 2009 (any time from October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009) and who defaulted by the end of FY 2010 (September 30, 2010). | ||||||
4 For purposes of computing default rates, if an individual or entity affiliated with the institution makes a payment to prevent a borrower’s default on a loan, the borrower is still considered in default. | ||||||
5 The 3-year cohort default rate is the percentage of borrowers entering repayment during the specified fiscal year and defaulting by the end of the second fiscal year that follows. For example, the 3-year cohort default rate for FY 2009 is the percentage of borrowers who entered repayment during FY 2009 (any time from October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009) and who defaulted by the end of FY 2011 (September 30, 2011). | ||||||
6 Includes borrowers from foreign and unclassified schools, which account for less than 1 percent of borrowers and are not included elsewhere. | ||||||
NOTE: Data are for certain loans under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (commonly referred to as the Direct Loan Program). Includes Federal Stafford Loans. Does not include PLUS loans, Federal Insured Student Loans (FISLs), or Federal Perkins Loans. For more details, see http://ifap.ed.gov/DefaultManagement/guide/attachments/CDRGuideCh2Pt1CDRCalculation.pdf. Beginning with the 2011 cohort, the Office of Federal Student Aid (OFSA) is publishing only 3-year default rates. The 2-year default rates shown in this table are no longer available online; therefore, no source for the 2-year rates can be provided. | ||||||
