For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans that have a loan period covering any day in the 2023–2024 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 Knowledge Center via FSA’s Partner Connect website at: https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center. If transmissions are started at the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions will not meet the deadline.
