During the period of April 12-13, 2014, we plan to execute extended system maintenance that will impact the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Student Access Web site and the NSLDS Professional Access Web site. Please review the information in this announcement and evaluate the impact on your school or organization during the period when the affected NSLDS Web sites will be unavailable.

Note: In addition to routine Web site maintenance that occurs each weekend, we will also be implementing Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System functionality for the 2014-2015 Award Year. For complete information, including the related COD System outage period, see the April 2, 2014 Electronic Announcement posted to the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site.
