Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 47 / Wednesday, March 11, 2015 / Notices
Deadline and Submission Dates: See
Tables A and B at the end of this notice.
Table A—Deadline Dates by Which a
Student Must Submit the FAFSA, by
Which the Institution Must Receive the
Student’s Institutional Student
Information Record (ISIR) or Student
Aid Report (SAR), and by Which the
Institution Must Submit Verification
Outcomes for Certain Students for the
2015–2016 Award Year.
Table A provides information and
deadline dates for receipt of the FAFSA,
corrections to and signatures for the
FAFSA, ISIRs, and SARs, and
verification documents.
The deadline date for the receipt of a
FAFSA by the Department’s Central
Processing System is June 30, 2016,
regardless of the method that the
applicant uses to submit the FAFSA.
The deadline date for the receipt of a
signature page for the FAFSA (if
required), correction, notice of change of
address or school, or request for a
duplicate SAR is September 17, 2016.
For all Federal student aid programs,
an ISIR or SAR for the student must be
received by the institution no later than
the student’s last date of enrollment for
the 2015–2016 award year or September
26, 2016, whichever is earlier. As a
reminder, a FAFSA must be submitted
for the dependent student for whom a
parent is applying for a Direct PLUS
Loan.
Verification documents must be
received by the institution no later than
120 days after the student’s last date of
enrollment for the 2015–2016 award
year or September 26, 2016, whichever
is earlier.
For all Federal student aid programs
except for (1) Direct PLUS Loans that
will be made to parent borrowers, and
(2) Direct Unsubsidized Loans that will
be made to dependent students who
have been determined by the institution,
pursuant to section 479A(a) of the HEA,
to be eligible for such a loan without
providing parental information on the
FAFSA, the ISIR or SAR must have an
official expected family contribution
(EFC) and must be received by the
institution no later than the earlier of
the student’s last date of enrollment for
the 2015–2016 award year or September
26, 2016.
For a student who is requesting aid
through the Pell Grant, FSEOG, FWS,
and Federal Perkins Loan programs or
for a student requesting Direct
Subsidized Loans, who does not meet
the conditions for a late disbursement
under 34 CFR 668.164(g), a valid ISIR or
valid SAR must be received no later
than the student’s last date of
enrollment for the 2015–2016 award
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:27 Mar 10, 2015
Jkt 235001
year or September 26, 2016, whichever
is earlier.
In accordance with 34 CFR
668.164(g)(4)(i), an institution may not
make a late disbursement of title IV
student assistance funds later than 180
days after the date of the institution’s
determination that the student was no
longer enrolled. Table A provides that,
to make a late disbursement of title IV
student assistance funds, an institution
must receive a valid ISIR or valid SAR
no later than 180 days after its
determination that the student was no
longer enrolled, but not later than
September 26, 2016.
Table B—Pell Grant, Iraq and
Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct Loan,
and TEACH Grant Programs’ Deadline
Dates for Disbursement Information by
Institutions for the 2015–2016 Award
Year or Processing Year.
Table B provides the earliest dates for
institutions to submit Pell Grant, Iraq
and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct
Loan, and TEACH Grant disbursement
records to the Department’s Common
Origination and Disbursement (COD)
System and deadline dates for an
institution’s request for administrative
relief if it cannot meet the established
deadline for specified reasons.
An institution must submit Pell Grant,
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant,
Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant
disbursement records, as applicable, no
later than 15 days after making the
disbursement or becoming aware of the
need to adjust a student’s previously
reported disbursement. In accordance
with 34 CFR 668.164(a), title IV funds
are disbursed on the date that the
institution: (a) Credits those funds to a
student’s account in the institution’s
general ledger or any subledger of the
general ledger; or (b) pays those funds
to a student directly. Title IV funds are
disbursed even if an institution uses its
own funds in advance of receiving
program funds from the Secretary.
An institution’s failure to submit
disbursement records within the
required timeframe may result in the
Secretary rejecting all or part of the
reported disbursement. Such failure
may also result in an audit or program
review finding or the initiation of an
adverse action, such as a fine or other
penalty for such failure, in accordance
with subpart G of the General Provisions
regulations in 34 CFR part 668.

1 The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions must be completed and accepted
before 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight,
those transmissions do not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may
not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejection.
2 The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received the ISIR or SAR regardless of
whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet Gateway mailbox or when the student submits the SAR to the institution.
3 Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if corrections are required, deadline dates for
submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid SAR or valid ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission of
verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot be later than this deadline date.
4 Note that changes to previously submitted Identity Verification Results must be updated within 30 days.

1 A COD Processing Year is a period of time in which institutions are permitted to submit Direct Loan records to the COD System that are related to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans that have a loan period covering any day in the 2015–2016
award year.
2 Transmissions must be completed and accepted before the designated processing time on the deadline submission date. The designated
processing time is published annually via an electronic announcement posted to the Information for Financial Aid Professionals Web site
(www.ifap.ed.gov). If transmissions are started at the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions
will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed
because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejection.
3 Applies only to students enrolled in clock-hour and nonterm credit-hour educational programs.
Note: The COD System must accept origination data for a student from an institution before it accepts disbursement information from the institution for that student. Institutions may submit origination and disbursement data for a student in the same transmission. However, if the origination data is rejected, the disbursement data is rejected.

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces deadline dates for the receipt of
documents and other information from applicants and institutions
participating in certain Federal student aid programs authorized under
title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), for the
2015-2016 award year. The Federal student aid programs covered by this
deadline date notice are the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, TEACH Grant, and
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant programs.
These programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education
(Department), provide financial assistance to students attending
eligible postsecondary educational institutions to help them pay their
educational costs.
[[Page 12809]]
Deadline and Submission Dates: See Tables A and B at the end of
this notice.
Table A--Deadline Dates by Which a Student Must Submit the FAFSA,
by Which the Institution Must Receive the Student's Institutional
Student Information Record (ISIR) or Student Aid Report (SAR), and by
Which the Institution Must Submit Verification Outcomes for Certain
Students for the 2015-2016 Award Year.
Table A provides information and deadline dates for receipt of the
FAFSA, corrections to and signatures for the FAFSA, ISIRs, and SARs,
and verification documents.
The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department's
Central Processing System is June 30, 2016, regardless of the method
that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date for the
receipt of a signature page for the FAFSA (if required), correction,
notice of change of address or school, or request for a duplicate SAR
is September 17, 2016.
For all Federal student aid programs, an ISIR or SAR for the
student must be received by the institution no later than the student's
last date of enrollment for the 2015-2016 award year or September 26,
2016, whichever is earlier. As a reminder, a FAFSA must be submitted
for the dependent student for whom a parent is applying for a Direct
PLUS Loan.
Verification documents must be received by the institution no later
than 120 days after the student's last date of enrollment for the 2015-
2016 award year or September 26, 2016, whichever is earlier.
For all Federal student aid programs except for (1) Direct PLUS
Loans that will be made to parent borrowers, and (2) Direct
Unsubsidized Loans that will be made to dependent students who have
been determined by the institution, pursuant to section 479A(a) of the
HEA, to be eligible for such a loan without providing parental
information on the FAFSA, the ISIR or SAR must have an official
expected family contribution (EFC) and must be received by the
institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date of
enrollment for the 2015-2016 award year or September 26, 2016.
For a student who is requesting aid through the Pell Grant, FSEOG,
FWS, and Federal Perkins Loan programs or for a student requesting
Direct Subsidized Loans, who does not meet the conditions for a late
disbursement under 34 CFR 668.164(g), a valid ISIR or valid SAR must be
received no later than the student's last date of enrollment for the
2015-2016 award year or September 26, 2016, whichever is earlier.
In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(g)(4)(i), an institution may not
make a late disbursement of title IV student assistance funds later
than 180 days after the date of the institution's determination that
the student was no longer enrolled. Table A provides that, to make a
late disbursement of title IV student assistance funds, an institution
must receive a valid ISIR or valid SAR no later than 180 days after its
determination that the student was no longer enrolled, but not later
than September 26, 2016.
Table B--Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct
Loan, and TEACH Grant Programs' Deadline Dates for Disbursement
Information by Institutions for the 2015-2016 Award Year or Processing
Year.
Table B provides the earliest dates for institutions to submit Pell
Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant
disbursement records to the Department's Common Origination and
Disbursement (COD) System and deadline dates for an institution's
request for administrative relief if it cannot meet the established
deadline for specified reasons.
An institution must submit Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service
Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant disbursement records, as
applicable, no later than 15 days after making the disbursement or
becoming aware of the need to adjust a student's previously reported
disbursement. In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(a), title IV funds are
disbursed on the date that the institution: (a) Credits those funds to
a student's account in the institution's general ledger or any
subledger of the general ledger; or (b) pays those funds to a student
directly. Title IV funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its
own funds in advance of receiving program funds from the Secretary.
An institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the
required timeframe may result in the Secretary rejecting all or part of
the reported disbursement. Such failure may also result in an audit or
program review finding or the initiation of an adverse action, such as
a fine or other penalty for such failure, in accordance with subpart G
of the General Provisions regulations in 34 CFR part 668.

application process in the 2015-2016 Federal Student Aid Handbook and

\1\ The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions
must be completed and accepted before 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before
12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions do not meet the deadline.
In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be
reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or
her of the rejection.
\2\ The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received
the ISIR or SAR regardless of whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet
Gateway mailbox or when the student submits the SAR to the institution.
\3\ Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if
corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant
applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid SAR or valid
ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission
of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot
be later than this deadline date.
\4\ Note that changes to previously submitted Identity Verification Results must be updated within 30 days.

\1\ A COD Processing Year is a period of time in which institutions are permitted to submit Direct Loan records
to the COD System that are related to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans
that have a loan period covering any day in the 2015-2016 award year.
\2\ Transmissions must be completed and accepted before the designated processing time on the deadline
submission date. The designated processing time is published annually via an electronic announcement posted to
the Information for Financial Aid Professionals Web site (www.ifap.ed.gov). If transmissions are started at
the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions will not meet
the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected
may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information
notifying him or her of the rejection.
\3\ Applies only to students enrolled in clock-hour and nonterm credit-hour educational programs.
Note: The COD System must accept origination data for a student from an institution before it accepts
disbursement information from the institution for that student. Institutions may submit origination and
disbursement data for a student in the same transmission. However, if the origination data is rejected, the
disbursement data is rejected.
