Posted on 02-10-2006

Our Federal offices as well as some of our Title IV processors and call centers will be closed on Monday, February 20, 2006 to observe the Washington's Birthday Federal holiday.

The Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System will accept and process data from schools and send back responses/acknowledgments on Monday, February 20, 2006, but schools will not be able to receive any Federal funds on that day. Requests for changes in funding levels and for funds will not be processed until Tuesday, February 21, 2006.
