SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Deadline Update: The Department is extending the deadline date for 
the receipt of corrections, notices of change of address or 
institution, or requests for a duplicate FAFSA Submission Summary to 
September 29, 2025. Further, the Department is extending the deadline 
for an institution to receive an Institutional Student Information 
Record (ISIR) or FAFSA Submission Summary to September 30, 2025, or the 
student's last date of enrollment for the 2024-25 award year, whichever 
is earlier. In addition, we removed all references to identity 
verification reporting requirements for V4/V5 Verification Tracking 
Groups since, as noted in electronic announcement GENERAL-25-36, 
reporting verification of identity is not required for the 2024-25 
award year. For verification purposes, verification documents must be 
received by the institution no later than 120 days after the student's 
last date of enrollment for the 2024-2025 award year or September 30, 
2025, whichever is earlier. These dates were updated in Table A below.
    Table A--2024-2025 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 FAFSA 
Submission Summary, 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 FAFSA 
Submission Summary, and verification documents.
    The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department's 
FAFSA Processing System (FPS) is June 30, 2025, regardless of the 
method that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date 
for the receipt of corrections, notices of change of address or 
institution, or requests for a duplicate FAFSA Submission Summary is 
September 29, 2025.
    For all title IV, HEA programs, an ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary 
for the student must be received by the institution no later than the 
student's last date of enrollment for the 2024-2025 award year or 
September 30, 2025, whichever is earlier. Note that a FAFSA must be 
submitted and an ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary received for the 
dependent student for whom a parent is applying for a Direct PLUS Loan.

[[Page 45028]]

    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 
2024-2025 award year or September 30, 2025, whichever is earlier. 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 FAFSA Submission Summary must have an official Student Aid 
Index (SAI) and the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary must be received 
by the institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date 
of enrollment for the 2024-2025 award year or September 30, 2025. For 
the two exceptions mentioned above, the ISIR or FAFSA Submission 
Summary must be received by the institution by the same dates noted in 
this paragraph but the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary is not required 
to have an official SAI.
    For a student who is requesting aid through the Pell Grant, FSEOG, 
or FWS 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 FAFSA Submission Summary must be 
received by the institution by the student's last date of enrollment 
for the 2024-2025 award year or September 30, 2025, whichever is 
earlier. Additionally, for the 2024-2025 Award Year, the Department is 
providing additional flexibilities for students who applied via the 
paper FAFSA form and were enrolled only for the 2024 summer term. An 
institution that receives an ISIR for a student who was enrolled for 
the summer term and is no longer enrolled, and who, if not for the 
delay of the processing of paper FAFSA forms, would have otherwise been 
eligible to receive title IV program funds, may still award and 
disburse the funds, subject to all other late disbursement 
requirements. For this exception to apply, the ISIR or FAFSA Submission 
Summary must have an Application Receipt Date on or before the 
student's last date of enrollment for the summer term but the ISIR or 
FAFSA Submission Summary is not required to have an official SAI.
    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, HEA program funds, an institution must 
receive a valid ISIR or valid FAFSA Submission Summary no later than 
180 days after its determination that the student was no longer 
enrolled, but not later than September 30, 2025.
    Table B--2024-2025 Award Year Deadline Dates By Which an 
Institution Must Submit Disbursement Information For the Pell Grant, 
Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant Programs.
    For the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant programs, Table B 
provides the earliest disbursement date, the earliest dates for 
institutions to submit disbursement records to the Department's Common 
Origination and Disbursement (COD) System, and deadline dates by which 
institutions must submit disbursement and origination records.
    For the 2024-25 Award Year, an institution must submit Pell Grant, 
Direct Loan, and TEACH Grant disbursement records to COD, no later than 
November 30, 2024 or 15 days after making the disbursement or becoming 
aware of the need to adjust a previously reported disbursement, 
whichever is later. 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), 682.610(c), 685.309(b), and 
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. Institutions may 
find the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide in the ``Knowledge Center'' 
via Federal Student Aid's (FSA) Partner Connect website at: <a href="https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center">https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center</a>.

\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 them of
  the rejection.
\2\ The date the ISIR/FAFSA Submission Summary transaction was processed by FPS is considered to be the date the
  institution received the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary regardless of whether the institution has downloaded
  the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) mailbox or when the student submits the FAFSA Submission
  Summary to the institution. For the 2024-25 Award Year, as published by the Department in the July 30, 2024
  Electronic Announcement (GENERAL-24-94), institutions have additional flexibilities for students who applied
  via the paper FAFSA form and were enrolled only for the 2024 summer term. An institution may still award and
  disburse funds for a student that is no longer enrolled for the 2024-25 Award Year if the following criteria
  are met: (a) the institution receives an ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary for the student; (b) the student
  applied via the paper FAFSA form; (c) the student was enrolled during the 2024 summer term but is no longer
  enrolled; (d) the Application Receipt Date on the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary is on or before the
  student's last date of enrollment; and (3) the student was otherwise eligible to receive title IV program
  funding, subject to all other late disbursement requirements.

\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 FAFSA
  Submission Summary 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 2024-2025 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 Knowledge Center via FSA's Partner Connect website at: <a href="https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center">https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center</a>. 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\ A temporary extension of the deadline for reporting disbursement records to the COD System was published by
  the Department in the July 30, 2024 Electronic Announcement (GENERAL-24-94). For more information, please
  visit: <a href="https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/library/electronic-announcements/2024-07-30/updates-2024-25-fafsa-paper-processing">https://fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-center/library/electronic-announcements/2024-07-30/updates-2024-25-fafsa-paper-processing</a>.
\4\ 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.
