Additional COD System Implementation for 2026–27 Award Year (June 2026)

On June 28, 2026, we will implement additional Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System functionality that supports the processing of Federal Pell Grant, Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan awards and supports the Campus-Based Aid programs for the 2026–27 award year.

COD System Outage Information

We will suspend COD batch processing from midnight until 11 a.m. Eastern time (ET) on Sunday, June 28, 2026, to implement the COD System functionality. During the outage, we will hold any records that schools submit and process them when the outage is over.

In addition, during the outage, users will not be able to

  • submit or retrieve data via the COD website, and

  • access the “COD Reports” area of the COD website.
