Subject: OUTAGE ALERT--Federal Student Aid Web Site Outages Scheduled for January 16, 2011
On Sunday, January 16, 2011, we plan to execute extended Web site maintenance and operating system upgrades to several Federal Student Aid Web sites. This work is in addition to the extended maintenance scheduled for the Direct Loan Consolidation System and Web site and closure information due the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday as explained in two earlier Electronic Announcements posted on January 7, 2011 to the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site.
This announcement provides information about the Web sites that will be affected during the extended maintenance period. Please review the information in this announcement and evaluate the impact on your school or organization during the period when the affected Web sites will be unavailable.
We apologize for the short notice about these outages; however, it is important that we complete the work this weekend.
