Financial aid professionals may have questions about how the new regulations will impact the various Federal Student Aid (FSA) systems.
FSA recently announced a new learning opportunity – FSA Systems Changes Resulting from OBBBA – that will increase knowledge of the FAFSA Partner Portal (FPP), the Common Origination and Disbursement System (COD), and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
Participants will learn more about the following:
- How to indicate in FPP if a student is either enrolled or accepted to enroll in an eligible workforce program and how to report tuition and fees for these programs in COD.
- How COD and NSLDS will identify and track borrowers eligible for the limited interim exception to the new annual and aggregate loan limits.
- How to report less-than-full-time Schedule of Reductions percentages for loans in COD.
- New NSLDS postscreening reason codes and changes to NSLDS to account for the new lifetime maximum loan limit.
- New 2026-27 ISIR fields such as Lifetime Maximum total for loans, Loan Limit Exception, and loan information for graduate and professional students.
The training course can be accessed in the FSA Training Center by selecting Statutory & Regulatory Updates on the home page.
Questions about these courses or other training needs can be directed to helpdesk.fsatraining@ed.gov.
