| PublicationDate: 10/14/99 Summary: 2000-2001 Renewal App Data Request Processing Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) Posted on October 14, 1999 To: EDE Destination Points From: CPS Customer Service Re: 2000-2001 Renewal App Data Request Processing The Central Processing System (CPS) began processing your 2000-2001 Renewal Application Data (RAD) Requests yesterday, October 13, 1999, rather than on October 18, 1999 as stated in the network message dated October 1, 1999. We are able to start processing earlier than anticipated because the process to build the 2000-2001 Renewal Application database completed ahead of schedule. While the processing starts early, the last day for RAD processing will still be Friday, November 5, 1999 at 5:00PM CT. If you have already made an on-line RAD request or sent in a Type 2 RAD Request File via Title IV WAN, you can expect to receive either your RAD file or an error file when you start work on Thursday, October 14 . If you make your RAD request after 10/13/99, your file will be available by the next business day. There are 7,960,299 students eligible for 2000-2001 Renewal Applications. Of this number, there are 1,629,598 students who will receive automatic PIN mailers (grad students and web filers) instead of the paper Renewal Application form. If you have any questions about this or the Renewal Application process, please contact CPS Customer Service at 800/330-5947, option 2 or at CPS@NCS.COM.
