elmselect
the best choice for students
ELMSelect makes it easy for a student to navigate the dizzying choices around student loans.
​
ELMSelect lets students filter the list of preferred lenders across a range of data points and compare them side-by-side using clear and simple tools. And with field level comparisons, the student decides what matters most to them in making their loan choices.
​
Better still when they’ve completed their research students can begin the loan application process itself right from within ELMSelect with a single click.
​
ELMSelect is free to use and powered by one of the most trusted names in the industry, ensuring students get free, comprehensive and up-to-date information.
student loan management
ELMNet provides a single interface that supports all of a school's loan certifications, status changes, tracking and reporting for private loans. ELMNet is open and lender-neutral, allowing schools to work with the loan provider of their choice while simplifying their loan process.
​
ELMNet offers reporting options for schools to assist with reconciliation, disbursements, certification requests and much more. Schools have the flexibility to receive pre-approved, borrower initiated, certification requests via a report or CommonLine file. You can certify loans on ELMNet or send a batch file created from Student Information or your Financial Aid Management System.
elmnet
manages complex student data
ELMNet saves you time and stress by enabling your school to automate quickly regardless of your technology.
​
ELMNet puts you in charge. For example, you can receive a certification request only after all application steps have been completed with the lender, or, if you prefer, you can be notified as lenders receive applications. ELMNet enables you to create multiple default data sets per user to save time when certifying loans online with ELMNet.
​
You can track the status and receive alerts about the progress of each loan from Certification to Disbursement. Or choose your method for sending/receiving data from a variety of formats including Secure FTP and a Secure Electronic Mailbox, all free of charge.
loan disbursement network
ELM National Disbursement Network (NDN) helps schools properly disburse a loan the first time. ELM NDN streamlines your disbursement and return process through a single source while retaining the flexibility to manage the process how you want.
​
ELM NDN, which is fully integrated with ELMNet, ELM Resources' leading student loan processing platform, allows you to choose the disbursement method that best fits your needs, including EFT, paper check or master check, and it gives you the flexibility of selecting the disbursement dates. ELMNet users can request changes or cancellations to disbursements online - which means fewer phone calls, faxes, or mail, and lower costs for you.
