DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) took rating actions on 23 outstanding ratings from 11 Navient Student Loan Trust transactions. Of the rated classes reviewed, three were discontinued due to repayment and 20 were confirmed. For the notes that were confirmed, performance trends are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS Morningstar’s expected losses at their current respective rating levels.

The ratings are based on DBRS Morningstar’s review of the following analytical considerations:

-- Transaction capital structure, proposed ratings, and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting, and servicing.
-- The credit quality of the collateral pool and historical performance.

Notes:
The principal methodology is DBRS Master U.S. ABS Surveillance Methodology, which can be found on dbrs.com under Methodologies & Criteria.
