Education (OPE) code under the “underwritten_ education_opeid” field in the Data File to the “SchoolCode” field in the Title IV Federal School Code List.
|
|

c) Observe whether the school name under the “underwritten_education_

collegiate degree, and there would be no corresponding OPE code for the loan within the Title IV Federal School Code List or Accredited Programs List.
