On June 29, 2025, we plan to implement additional Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System functionality that supports the Campus-Based programs and the processing of Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant), Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) awards for the 2025–26 award year.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this important activity.
To implement the COD System functionality, we will suspend COD batch processing from midnight to 11 a.m. Eastern time (ET) on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Records submitted via the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) during the outage period will be held and processed after 11 a.m. ET on Sunday, June 29, 2025.
In addition, during the outage, users will not be able to
-
submit or retrieve data from the COD website.
-
access the COD Reports area of the COD website.
With this release, we will implement a few key system changes described below.
-
Addition of 2026–27 Award Year Cycle for Campus-Based Programs – We will add the 2026–27 processing cycle to the COD System. All Campus-Based Program forms and instructions and Campus-Based processes will be updated in the COD System for the 2026–27 application year (and 2024–25 reporting year) and will become available to view and edit beginning on Aug. 1, 2025. For a summary of changes being made to the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP), refer to the Electronic Announcement posted April 22, 2025.
-
Addition of 2024 Calendar Year to Campus-Based XML Common Record Schema Processing – We will add the 2024 calendar year to the COD System for Federal Work-Study (FWS) wage reporting. We will continue to accept records using the 1.0b Schema for the new 2024 calendar year. For more information about the schema itself, refer to the Campus-Based XML schema posting and Volume 4 of the COD Technical Reference. Operational guidance about using the Campus-Based XML schema to report FWS earnings will be provided in a forthcoming announcement.
