NOTE: On September 13, 2013, we updated this EA to correct a typographical error in Item 2 under "Important Reminders." The award year in the second sentence has been corrected to 2013-2014.

We are pleased to announce that the eCampus-Based application for the Fiscal Operations Report for 2012-2013 and Application to Participate for 2014-2015 (FISAP) is now available on the eCampus-Based (eCB) Web site.

All schools that wish to request funding under the Campus-Based programs for the 2014-2015 Award Year, and all schools that had Campus-Based expenditures for the 2012-2013 Award Year, are required to electronically submit a FISAP via the eCB Web site. The deadline for the electronic submission of the FISAP is 11:59 P.M. (ET) on October 1, 2013. Transmission must be completed by 12:00 midnight.

In a July 18, 2013 Electronic Announcement, we informed schools of the availability of the final FISAP form, Instructions, Desk Reference and . These documents, as well as the following important reminders will assist schools in completing the FISAP.

Important Reminders:

  1. We have updated award year and date references and clarified instructions as outlined in the July 18, 2013 Electronic Announcement.
  2. Only disbursements made from 2012-2013 funds should be reported in Part II, Section E, Field 23. If crossover payments are made from 2013-2014 funds, the disbursements should be reported in next year's FISAP (Fiscal Operations Report for 2013-2014 and Application to Participate for 2015-2016).
  3. It is important that all affected campus offices coordinate and reconcile the information a school reports in its FISAP.
  4. If funds are drawn from G5 that exceed the amounts reported on the FISAP, a negative balance will result and the school will need to return funds to G5.

    Example: If a school's Federal Work-Study (FWS) authorized amount was $50,000 and the school reported on its FISAP an expended amount of $40,000, the school's award will be closed out at the expended amount of $40,000. If more than $40,000 has been drawn in G5, a negative balance for the amount over $40,000 will result and must be returned.

  5. A school that submits its FISAP by the deadline will have the opportunity to edit the submitted FISAP until December 13, 2013. Final information and expenditures must be updated by that time. See the Notice of the 2013-2014 Award Year Deadline Dates for the Campus-Based Programs published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2013 (78 FR 14776).
  6. Be sure to calculate and claim any appropriate Administrative Cost Allowance (see Volume 6 of the 2013-2014 FSA Handbook). Any change to this information will not be accepted after December 13, 2013.
