Decommissioning of CPS and FAA Access

With the closing of the 2023–24 award year on Sept. 14, 2024, we are now in the process of decommissioning the Central Processing System (CPS) and the FAA Access to CPS Online website.

As a reminder, beginning with the 2024–25 award year, the FAFSA® Processing System (FPS) has replaced the CPS and the FAFSA Partner Portal has replaced FAA Access.

The FAFSA Partner Portal is available at the following links:

For more information about the FAFSA Partner Portal, please refer to Volume 1 – Summary of Changes of the 2025–26 FAFSA Specifications Guide.

A recording of the June 28, 2024 webinar, “Demo of FAFSA Partner Portal Corrections,” is also available. Refer to Dear Colleague Letter ANN-24-12 for further information about the webinar and how to access the recording. The standalone FAFSA Partner Portal video demo is also available on the FSA Training Center, under Systems Training.
