The Section 508-compliant full version is available on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site at http://ifap.ed.gov/edexpress/index.htm. After navigating to this URL, users will select the EDExpress Basics 2009-2010 Text Only Version and follow the instructions for the installation of the necessary files to actively engage in the training.
This self-paced training is intended for financial aid office staff with day-to-day responsibilities that involve using the EDExpress software.
