SUMMARY: The Secretary announces deadline dates for the receipt of 
documents and other information from applicants and institutions 
participating in certain Federal student aid programs authorized under 
title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), for the 
2016-2017 award year. The Federal student aid programs covered by this 
deadline date notice are the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, TEACH Grant, and 
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant programs. The FSEOG, FWS, and 
Perkins Loan programs are only covered by this deadline date notice to 
the extent that a student receiving FSOEG, FWS, or Perkins Loan funds 
must submit a FAFSA, to the extent that the institution must receive 
the student's Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) or 
Student Aid Report (SAR) for students requesting those funds, or to the 
extent that the institution must submit verification outcomes for 
students requesting those funds.
    These programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education 
(Department), provide financial assistance to students attending 
eligible postsecondary educational institutions to help them pay their 
educational costs.

DATES:  Deadline and Submission Dates: See Tables A and B at the end of 
this notice.

Table A--Deadline Dates by Which a Student Must Submit the FAFSA, by 
Which the Institution Must Receive the Student's Institutional Student 
Information Record (ISIR) or Student Aid Report (SAR), and by Which the 
Institution Must Submit Verification Outcomes for Certain Students for 
the 2016-2017 Award Year

    Table A provides information and deadline dates for receipt of the 
FAFSA, corrections to and signatures for the FAFSA, ISIRs, and SARs, 
and verification documents.
    The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department's 
Central Processing System is June 30, 2017, regardless of the method 
that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date for the 
receipt of a signature page for the FAFSA (if required), correction, 
notice of change of address or school, or request for a duplicate SAR 
is September 9, 2017.
    For all Federal student aid programs, an ISIR or SAR for the 
student must be received by the institution no later than the student's 
last date of enrollment for the 2016-2017 award year or September 23, 
2017, whichever is earlier. As a reminder, a FAFSA must be submitted 
for the dependent student for whom a parent is applying for a Direct 
PLUS Loan.
    Verification documents must be received by the institution no later 
than 120 days after the student's last date of enrollment for the 2016-
2017 award year or September 23, 2017, whichever is earlier.
    For all Federal student aid programs except for (1) Direct PLUS 
Loans that will be made to parent borrowers, and (2) Direct 
Unsubsidized Loans that will be made to dependent students who have 
been determined by the institution, pursuant to section 479A(a) of the 
HEA, to be eligible for such a loan without providing parental 
information on the FAFSA, the ISIR or SAR must have an official 
expected family contribution (EFC) and must be received by the 
institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date of 
enrollment for the 2016-2017 award year or September 23, 2017.
    For a student who is requesting aid through the Pell Grant, FSEOG, 
FWS, and Federal Perkins Loan programs or for a student requesting 
Direct Subsidized Loans, who does not meet the conditions for a late 
disbursement under 34 CFR 668.164(g), a valid ISIR or valid SAR must be 
received by the student's last date of enrollment for the 2016-2017 
award year or September 23, 2017, whichever is earlier.
    In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(g)(4)(i), an institution may not 
make a late disbursement of title IV student assistance funds later 
than 180 days after the date of the institution's determination that 
the student was no longer enrolled. Table A provides that, to make a 
late disbursement of title IV student assistance funds, an institution 
must receive a valid ISIR or valid SAR no later than 180 days after its 
determination that the student was no longer enrolled, but not later 
than September 23, 2017.

Table B--Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct Loan, 
and TEACH Grant Programs' Deadline Dates for Disbursement Information 
by Institutions for the 2016-2017 Award Year or Processing Year

    Table B provides the earliest and latest dates for institutions to 
submit Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Direct Loan, and 
TEACH Grant disbursement records to the Department's Common Origination 
and Disbursement (COD) System and deadline dates for such records if an 
institution requests and receives approval to submit such records after 
the established deadline.
    An institution must submit Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service 
Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant disbursement records to COD, as 
applicable, no later than 15 days after making the disbursement or 
becoming aware of the need to adjust a previously reported 
disbursement. In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(a), title IV funds are 
disbursed on the date that the institution: (a) Credits those funds to 
a student's account in the institution's general ledger or any 
subledger of the general ledger; or (b) pays those funds to a student 
directly. Title IV funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its 
own funds in advance of receiving program funds from the Secretary.
    An institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the 
required timeframe may result in the Secretary rejecting all or part of 
the reported disbursement. Such failure may also result in an audit or 
program review finding or the initiation of an adverse action, such as 
a fine or other penalty for such failure, in accordance with subpart G 
of the General Provisions regulations in 34 CFR part 668.

 \1\ The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions
  must be completed and accepted before 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before
  12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions do not meet the deadline.
  In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be
  reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or
  her of the rejection.
 \2\ The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution
  received the ISIR or SAR regardless of whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid
  Internet Gateway (SAIG) mailbox or when the student submits the SAR to the institution.
 \3\ Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if
  corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant
  applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid SAR or valid
  ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission
  of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot
  be later than this deadline date.
 \4\ Note that changes to previously submitted Identity Verification Results must be updated within 30 days.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 \1\ A COD Processing Year is a period of time in which institutions are permitted to submit Direct Loan records
  to the COD System that are related to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans
  that have a loan period covering any day in the 2016-2017 award year.
 \2\ Transmissions must be completed and accepted before the designated processing time on the deadline
  submission date. The designated processing time is published annually via an electronic announcement posted to
  the Information for Financial Aid Professionals Web site (www.ifap.ed.gov). If transmissions are started at
  the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions will not meet
  the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected
  may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information
  notifying him or her of the rejection.
 \3 \Applies only to students enrolled in clock-hour and nonterm credit-hour educational programs.
NOTE: The COD System must accept origination data for a student from an institution before it accepts
  disbursement information from the institution for that student. Institutions may submit origination and
  disbursement data for a student in the same transmission. However, if the origination data is rejected, the
  disbursement data is rejected.

                                                      1 The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions must be completed and accepted before 12:00 midnight
                                                  to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions do not meet the dead-
                                                  line. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by
                                                  the time the user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejection.
                                                      2 The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received the ISIR or SAR regardless of whether the institu-
                                                  tion has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) mailbox or when the student submits the SAR to the institution.
                                                      3 Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper
                                                  or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid SAR or valid ISIR to the in-
                                                  stitution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs
                                                  and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot be later than this deadline date.

                                                  lated to a given award year. For a Direct Loan, the period of time includes loans that have a loan period covering any day in the 2016–2017
                                                  award year.

                                                  (www.ifap.ed.gov). If transmissions are started at the designated time, but are not completed until after the designated time, those transmissions
                                                  will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed
                                                  because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him or her of the rejection.
