Exhibit 33.1

Assertion on Compliance with Regulation AB Criteria

Navient Solutions, LLC (formerly, Navient Solutions, Inc.), (the “Asserting Party”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Navient Corporation, is responsible for assessing compliance as of December 31, 2017 and for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”), with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB related to its servicing of student loan asset-backed securities transactions that were outstanding during the Reporting Period (collectively, the “Platform” and each such trust is a “Platform trust”), to the extent required by the related transaction agreements as to any transaction, except for servicing criteria Items 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(ii), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(3)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(x)-1122(d)(4)(xiii), which the Asserting Party has concluded were not required of the Asserting Party under the related transaction agreements with respect to any Platform trust during the Reporting Period.  Appendix A attached hereto identifies the servicing criteria, after giving effect to the exclusions identified herein, that are applicable to the Platform (the “Applicable Servicing Criteria”).  Appendix B attached hereto identifies the outstanding student loan asset-backed securities transactions defined by the Asserting Party as constituting the Platform for which the Asserting Party acted as administrator or sub-administrator, as applicable (collectively, the “Administrator”) and servicer or subservicer, as applicable (collectively, the “Servicer”) during the Reporting Period.

With respect to servicing criteria Items 1122(d)(1)(i), 1122(d)(2)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i), 1122(d)(3)(ii), 1122(d)(3)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(xv), the Asserting Party has concluded that such criteria are not applicable under the related transaction agreements for the SMB Private Education Loan Trust 2014-A transaction or the Goal Structured Solutions Trust 2016-B transaction.

The Asserting Party has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria and has concluded that it has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform as a whole.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Asserting Party’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period.
