CDRs: THE FORMULA
Numerator:
Denominator:
Borrowers who entered repayment in one year, and defaulted in that year or the next
Borrowers who entered repayment during the one-year cohort period
11/6/2012
CDRs: DENOMINATOR IN FORMULA
• Determine Data Entered Repayment (DER)
• Date of graduation, withdrawal, or less than half-time status
• Plus 181 days (6 months + 1 day) = DER
• Using DER, determine the correct cohort year in which the student will be counted
11/6/2012
CDRs: NUMERATOR IN FORMULA
• Loan must be included in denominator
• Determine default date (361 day of delinquency or Claim Paid Date [CPD])
• Determine if default date falls within cohort period
11/6/2012
CDRs: TWO FORMULA’S: APPLYING THE FORMULA
• Non-Average Rate
• 30 or more borrowers in repayment
• Average Rate
• Less than 30 borrowers in repayment
• 3 years of data

THE 3-YEAR CDR CALCULATION
• Expands the default tracking window from 2 years to 3 years
• Creates a transition period (FY09/10/11)
• Raises penalty threshold from 25% - 30%
• New set of requirements for FY09, FY10…• Possible compliance issue beginning in
September 2014 (FY 2011 CDR)• Increases availability of “disbursement relief”
from 10 to 15% (effective 10/1/11)
11/6/2012
CDR DISBURSEMENT WAIVERS FOR LOW DEFAULT RATES
• New threshold: Schools with a default rate less than 15% for the 3 most recent fiscal years
• May disburse a single term loan in a single installment, and
• Need not delay the first disbursement to a first-year undergraduate borrower until the borrower has completed the first 30 days of their program of study
Effective for loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2011
11/6/2012

DOES DEFAULT PREVENTION HELP?
The changes, risks and challenges
11/6/2012
THE CONSEQUENCES OF DEFAULTFOR THE SCHOOL
• The CDR is a measure of a school’s administrative capability
• High CDRs can:• Negatively reflect on school quality• Result in provisional certification• Result in loss of Title IV eligibility
11/6/2012
THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE
• Loan default increasing for most schools
• Educational costs continue to rise
• More students borrowing more money
• The combination of Stafford and private loans equal greater debt
• Changes to CDR calculation accompanied by new sanctions and enhanced benefit
• Transition to all Direct loan Origination and Servicing
