However, not all institutions may presently be capable of submitting records. If you: - Use a third party software vendor and your vendor has not distributed software for the 2000-2001 processing year - Are a mainframe school and your institution has not completed development for the 2000-2001 processing year, or - You use EDExpress you may not yet be able to submit Pell Grant records to the RFMS. EDExpress version 6.2, which includes the Pell Module for the 2000-2001 award year, will be available for download from the SFAdownload Web site on May 12, 2000. We apologize for any confusion and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions please call the Pell Grant Hotline at 1-800-4PGRANT (800-474-7268) or e-mail us at #pell_sysyems@ed.gov. |
