DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) took rating actions on 26 outstanding ratings from seven Navient Private Education Loan Trust transactions. Of the rated classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar confirmed 24 and discontinued two because of repayment. For the classes that were confirmed, performance trends reflect credit enhancement levels that 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.
