Rather than "School Responsibilities Under Title IV" as originally planned, the videoconference will be on "Direct Loan Updates". We hope to reschedule "School Responsibilities Under Title IV" for a later date. This videoconference, presented free of charge to all postsecondary institutions by the U.S. Department of Education, will offer current information on reconciliation, in-school consolidation, training and publications, legislative issues, and other topics. The videoconference will be presented by a team of Department of Education staff. It will be interactive, offering participants the opportunity to use a toll-free number or FAX to question the panel of presenters. Schools are permitted to record this videoconference for their own use. The May 23 videoconference will be broadcast on the following satellites: - KU Band - Galaxy 7, (91 degrees west), Transponder 19, Vertical Downlink Frequency 12080 Mhz Audio at 6.2 and 6.8 - C Band - Galaxy 3, (93.5 degrees west), Transponder 20, Vertical Downlink Frequency 4100 Mhz., Channel 20 (may not be accurate on each system) Audio at 6.2 and 6.8 Enclosed is a form to register for the videoconference.
