Subject: Updated Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) Computer Based Training
COD is pleased to announce the availability of the updated computer-based training (CBT) program for the COD System web site, www.cod.ed.gov. The training program includes any new enhancements that have been made to the COD System from January-July 2003.
The CBT requires a Windows 98 or higher operating system that contains an ODBC driver for Microsoft Access 2000 in order to run properly. The screen resolution should be set to 1024x768 or higher for optimum viewing.
The training program has seven lessons with text to guide you through each area of the COD System. It simulates the COD web screens and functionality available to a School Administrator. You can explore basic navigation and functions of the COD web site and practice locating and creating information in a safe environment with feedback to help you. The program uses fictitious data with over six hundred (600) students and twenty (20) schools that offer a wide range of conditions you may experience at your institution.
If you have any questions about the CBT please call 1-800-848-0978 for Direct Loans, 1-800-4PGRANT for Pell Grants, or email CODSupport@acs-inc.com.
