Financial aid professionals, looking for just the right resources in the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Knowledge Center website, can get some help from some new training videos.

FSA earlier this week announced availability of a new video series, the FSA Resource Toolkit.

According to FSA, this series of short videos instructs financial aid administrators on how to find and use important FSA resources on the Knowledge Center which are critical to the day-to-day administration of Title IV aid.

The videos cover the following topics:

  • FSA Handbook
  • Dear Colleague Letters and Electronic Announcements
  • Federal Register and the eCFR
  • Operational Guides
  • How to Ask a Question on the Help Center

To access these videos, log into the FSA Training Center at fsatraining.ed.gov, select “Recorded Training”, “Training Videos”, and “FSA Resources.”

FSA also issued a reminder this week that at the end of July they will be removing training courses specific to the 2021–22 award year and replacing them with courses for the 2022–23 award year on August 1.

Financial aid professionals with questions about the training center should send an email to helpdesk.fsatraining@ed.gov.
