In preparation for this release, COD will suspend batch processing beginning at 5:00 PM (ET), on Thursday, April 10. Records submitted after 5:00 PM will be held and processed by Monday, April 14.
In addition, the COD Web Site will be unavailable beginning 8:00 PM (ET), Thursday, April 10, through 7:00 AM (ET), Monday, April 14.

Schools needing additional funds during this time are encouraged to submit their records to COD no later than 5:00 PM (ET), Thursday, April 10.
