Portfolio Navigator is a powerful portfolio management tool that helps institutions understand, prioritize, and engage their federal loan populations. By transforming NSLDS data into clear insights and targeted outreach opportunities, schools can connect with borrowers as a trusted, familiar resource, driving stronger engagement and response. With built-in automation and streamlined workflows, institutions can make a meaningful impact on portfolio health and delinquency risk in as little as an hour each month.
What Portfolio Navigator Does
Portfolio Navigator helps schools monitor federal loan portfolios, identify at-risk borrowers, and take targeted action to reduce delinquency and default.
For Schools:
Identify Risk and Focus Outreach
-
Tracks Cohort Default Risk Rate (CDRR)

-
Connects You to All Borrowers
Uses NSLDS data to identify and reach your full borrower population, not just those who proactively engage.
-

Segments borrowers by delinquency stage so you can deliver timely, relevant messaging that drives action.
-
Supports Early Intervention
Helps schools identify at risk borrowers sooner, encouraging enrollment in Repayment Assistance Plans (RAP) or other income driven repayment plans.

Centralizes portfolio data and outreach activity, reducing manual tracking and enabling staff to manage portfolios more effectively.
How Portfolio Navigator Works
Portfolio Navigator transforms NSLDS data into a clear, actionable view of your federal loan portfolio, complete with estimated CDR and risk factor rate. With Action Center, you can segment borrowers by delinquency stage and launch targeted outreach campaigns that drive results.
Track by Delinquency Stage
Segment borrowers based on how far behind they are in repayment, regardless of their loan servicer, and prioritize outreach accordingly.
High-Priority Delinquency |
75–115 days delinquent, never made a payment |
Early Delinquency |
31–134 days delinquent |
Mid Delinquency |
135–239 days delinquent |
Late Delinquency |
240+ days delinquent |
Each group can be viewed, tracked, and engaged with tailored messaging to help prevent default and improve repayment outcomes.

Choose Your Outreach Method
Use Action Center’s flexible campaign tools to reach borrowers by email, letter, or phone, customized to match their delinquency stage. Use ready-made templates or create your own.
