Summary: Communication
of 2006-2007 Application and Delivery System Updates
Posted on 09-13-2005
We would like to take this
opportunity to notify our partners in the financial aid community that Federal
Student Aid (FSA) will not be offering a 2006-2007 Application and Delivery System
Update videoconference this fall. While our annual videoconference is always an
exciting opportunity to discuss enhancements we are making for the upcoming award
year, 2006-2007 will be a year of relatively little change to the application
processing system. Therefore, after thoughtful discussion, we decided to concentrate
our training efforts on publications to students and schools, as well as on the
development of other training tools.
We look forward to communicating
the improvements being made in 2006-2007 to the application processing system
in a variety of ways, including upcoming process guides, the annual Electronic
Access Conferences (EACs), updates to our computer-based tutorials, and other
training opportunities.
An early preview of the
major changes for 2006-2007 was posted on July 27, 2005 to the Information for
Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site (see the electronic announcement
"Overview
of Major 2006-2007 Application Processing System Changes"). In addition,
we recently posted the 2006-2007
Renewal FAFSA Process Guide which provides a comprehensive discussion of
changes to the renewal application process. In the next few months we will be
posting numerous other publications, including the Summary of Changes for the
Application Processing System, the ISIR Guide, the School Electronic Process
Guide, the Student Web Application Products Process Guide, and the SAR Comment
Codes and Text guide.
We will continue to work
hard to share information about the upcoming award year with you and answer
any questions you may have. In addition, we look forward to exploring opportunities
to meet with you during a videoconferences in the future.
