| PublicationDate: 9/22/97 Summary: 1998-99 Renewal Application Data (RAD) Request Process Author: TIV/WAN - Title IV Wan Customer Service Posted September 22, 1997 TO: All EDE Destination Points FROM: U.S. Department of Education RE: 1998-99 Renewal Application Data (RAD) Request Process We are pleased to announce that eligible EDE destination points can begin making Renewal Application Data (RAD) requests electronically for the 1998-99 academic cycle beginning October 6, 1997. Requests that involve CPS printing of Renewal Applications will be accepted by the CPS and processed daily through November 7, 1997. After November 7, CPS will print and mail Renewal Applications directly to eligible students. Institutions can continue to make RAD requests after November 7, but the CPS print option will no longer be available. Action Letter #1, explaining the RAD request process in detail, will be mailed to all institutions beginning September 26, 1997. In the meantime, recognizing that institutions may want quicker access to this information, Action Letter #1 was posted to the SFA BBS on September 17, 1997. To participate in the Renewal Application process via EDE please ensure the following two items are correct: 1. You are productional for either electronic automatic ISIRS or renewal applications for 1997-98 or 1998-99. 2. You are enrolled for Renewal application processing.

Institutions not properly enrolled for Renewal Applications will receive error messages or rejected batches, or both, when trying to make a RAD request.
