SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table A--2017-2018 Award Year 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

    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, 2018, 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), corrections, 
notices of change of address or school, or requests for a duplicate SAR 
is September 15, 2018.
    For all title IV, HEA 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 2017-2018 award year or September 22, 2018, 
whichever is earlier. Note that a FAFSA must be submitted and an ISIR 
or SAR received for the dependent student for whom a parent is applying 
for a Direct PLUS Loan.
    Except for students selected for Verification Tracking Groups V4 
and V5, verification documents must be received by the institution no 
later than 120 days after the student's last date of enrollment for the 
2017-2018 award year or September 22, 2018, whichever is earlier. For 
students selected for Verification Tracking Groups V4 and V5, 
institutions must submit identity and high school completion status 
verification results no later than 60 days following the institution's 
first request to the student to submit the documentation.
    For all title IV, HEA 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 the ISIR or SAR must be received by the 
institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date of 
enrollment for the 2017-2018 award year or September 22, 2018.
    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(j), a valid ISIR or valid SAR must be 
received by the institution by the student's last date of enrollment 
for the 2017-2018 award year or September 22, 2018, whichever is 
earlier.
    In accordance with 34 CFR 668.164(j)(4)(i), an institution may not 
make a late disbursement of title IV, HEA program 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 22, 2018.

Table B--2017-2018 Award Year Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service 
Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant Programs Deadline Dates for 
Disbursement by Institutions

    Table B provides the earliest disbursement date and 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, 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, HEA program 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, HEA program funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its own 
funds in advance of receiving program funds from the Department.
    An institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the 
required timeframe may result in the Department 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.

Deadline Dates for Enrollment Reporting by Institutions

    In accordance with 34 CFR 674.19(f), 34 CFR 682.610(c), 34 CFR 
685.309(b), and 34 CFR 690.83(b)(2), upon receipt of an enrollment 
report from the Secretary, institutions must update all information 
included in the report and return the report to the Secretary in a 
manner and format prescribed by the Secretary and within the timeframe 
prescribed by the Secretary. Consistent with the National Student Loan 
Data System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Guide, the Secretary has 
determined that institutions must report at least every two months.

\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 of
  the institution becoming aware that a change has occurred.

\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 2017-2018 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 website (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.

                                                  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.

                                                     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

                                                  and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot be later than this deadline date.

                                                     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 re-
                                                  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 2017–2018
                                                  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 website
                                                  (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 in-
                                                  stitution for that student. Institutions may submit origination and disbursement data for a student in the same transmission. However, if the origi-
                                                  nation data is rejected, the disbursement data is rejected.
