The online FISAP will be made available on the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website by Aug. 1, 2025.
We have also posted the 2026–27 FISAP Technical Reference, which provides technical specifications and record layouts for schools or other organizations
These documents and the reminders below will assist schools in completing the 2026–27 FISAP.
Information on how to reset a password, register a Destination Point Administrator, and contact information for assistance is provided in the Desk Reference. All users should ensure their access to this website application is functional before needing to enter data to file the FISAP.
In addition to annual award year and date references, the following changes have been made to the FISAP:
-
Part II, Section B, Field 5: Field 5 will be disabled and no longer allow a response from any schools except those that are still active in servicing their Federal Perkins Loan portfolio.
-
Part II, Section F, Fields 25(a)—(d) and Part VI, Section A, Fields 26(c)—(g): Required count of “automatic zero EFC” students in Part II, Fields 25(a) through (d) and Part VI, Fields 24(c) through (f) have been replaced with students with Maximum Pell Indicators of either 1, 2, or 3, due to statutory changes to the 2024-25 FAFSA and elimination of the “automatic zero EFC” classification.
