Subject: Live Internet Webinar - HEOA Changes to FFEL and Direct Loan Programs

Summary: This letter announces Federal Student Aid’s instructor-led, online training sessions on changes to the FFEL and Direct Loan programs made by the HEOA.

Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to announce instructor-led, online training that will focus on changes to the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) programs made by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (the HEOA), Pub. L. 110-315. The training is intended for all schools that participate in the FFEL and Direct Loan programs.

We will present this information in a 90-minute session and will offer the session on four different days to provide ample opportunity for those interested in attending.

The schedule is as follows:

  • Thursday, April 30, 2009, 3:00 P.M. (ET)
  • Wednesday, May 13, 2009, 2:00 P.M. (ET)
  • Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 1:00 P.M. (ET)
  • Monday, June 8, 2009, 12:00 P.M. Noon (ET)

Advance registration is required for this training and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, click on this link:

Once registered, we will send an e-mail confirmation to the trainee. The trainee should retain this confirmation, as it contains important information, including linking and log in information for the Web site, system test links, and cancellation information. If unable to attend, we request that the trainee cancel his or her registration so that individuals who wish to attend may do so.

PowerPoint slides will be available for each trainee to download after he or she signs in to the webinar. During the webinar, trainees will be able to ask questions electronically using their computers.

We look forward to your participation in this instructor-led, online training opportunity. If you have questions about this training opportunity, please contact Jeannette Zink at jeannette.zink@ed.gov.

Sincerely,


Jana Hernandes
