Friendly reminders about upcoming federal deadlines
September 05, 2018
That moment you realize that you submitted the form on time. . . but forgot to sign it.
It's that kind of "ugh" moment that we've all experienced at one time or another. And for those of you submitting forms for participation in federal campus-based programs, It's one moment you don't want to experience.
The Department of Education issued an Electronic Announcement on August 31, reminding schools about upcoming deadlines and that the e-signature is no longer available for the Application to Participate for 2019-20 (FISAP). The signature page must be printed, signed, and mailed by the October 1, 2018 deadline. Signature requirements and instructions can be found in the 2019-20 FISAP Instructions, page I-3.
All schools requesting Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Work-Study (FWS) program funds for the 2019-20 Award Year and/or that had either FSEOG and FWS expenditures or Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) activity for the 2017-18 Award Year are required to electronically submit a FISAP via the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website.
More information can be found online on the COD website or by contacting the COD School Relations Center at 1-800-848-0978 or CODSupport@ed.gov.
