| PublicationDate: 7/11/2000 Summary: FAFSA on the Web and PIN sites will be down temporarily for the upcoming move to the Virtual Data Center Author: General Manager: SFA Student Channel Posted on July 11, 2000 Date: July 11, 2000 To: All SFA Schools From: US Department of Education Re: FAFSA on the Web and PIN sites will be down temporarily for the upcoming move to the Virtual Data Center To facilitate the integration of the Student Financial Aid Delivery system, we are moving the FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) and PIN site software and hardware to the Virtual Data Center (VDC) located in Meriden CT, which will eventually house all the Student Financial Aid Delivery systems. We expect that this transition will be transparent to you and your students except for some initial downtime needed when we move this weekend. Many months of planning and scheduling have gone into the preparations for the FOTW and PIN site moves. We are confident the FAFSA on the Web applications will be in production except for the limited downtime listed below. If we do need additional downtime, however, we will let you know immediately. Both the FAFSA on the Web and the PIN web sites will be completely unavailable from Friday, July 14 from 11:45 p.m. until Saturday, July 15 at 1:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time). If you have questions about the FOTW and PIN web site moves, please call Customer Service at 1-800-801-0576/TTY: 800-511-5806. |
