Financial aid professionals have always worked long hours but that’s been especially true the past several months. Hopefully, the upcoming holiday weekend will provide an opportunity to get away from work.
Federal offices, including the Department of Education and Federal Student Aid processors and contact centers will close for the Memorial Day federal holiday on Monday, May 27.
The Central Processing System (CPS) will accept data on Monday, May 27, but will not process data or send Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) until Tuesday, May 28.
The Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System will accept and process data from schools and send back responses/acknowledgments on Monday, May 27, but schools will not be able to receive any federal funds on that day. Requests for changes in funding levels and for funds will not be processed until Tuesday, May 28.
All Federal Student Aid websites will remain operational on the holiday.
