It's a message we hope most financial aid professionals can ignore.

The Department of Education has issued a final reminder about the February 20 deadline to install the latest version the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) software.

In the February 10 Electronic Announcement, the Department said the upgrade is necessary to comply with a federal mandate to improve email and web security. According to the announcement, the required software is available for download on the Software and Other Tools page of the Knowledge Center website.

Anyone with questions about the EDconnect or TDClient software can contact CPS/SAIG Technical Support at 1-800-330-5947 or by email at CPSSAIG@ed.gov.
