We are offering one EDExpress session and one Direct Loan session per month through December. Below is a description of the training. GETTING STARTED WITH EDE--NOVICE (ONE DAY SESSION) This session is for schools that have little or no experience with Electronic Data Exchange, the service that allows schools to electronically process Title IV financial aid data using the Title IV Wide Area Network, and/or EDExpress, the software developed by ED to aid schools in those processes. It covers the basic process of EDE, including how data is exchanged, transmitted and received; the use and navigation of EDExpress to create, send and receive data; and the use of the Title IV WAN network in transmitting data. 1997-98 DIRECT LOAN TRAINING (TWO DAY SESSION) This session is for new or current Direct Loan schools. It will aid participants in understanding the loan process and the procedures for sending and receiving data from the Direct Loan Origination Center. The curriculum combines programmatic and policy information with hands-on instruction on the EDExpress software supporting Direct Loan functions. The training dates, locations and contacts are listed in the chart on the next page. To register please use the Registration form provided. To make travel convenient for those who would like to attend both sessions, the Getting Started with EDE is always held the day before the Direct Loan session begins. Please note that there is a requirement for a minimum of 10 registrants in order for a class to be held as planned. If at least 10 people have not registered within two weeks prior to the class, we will request that all registrants attend next months class. However, training will not be postponed two months in a row due to the number of registrants. DATE JULY EDE Trng 7/29 Direct Loan Trng 7/30-31 Location: 61 Forsyth Street, S.W.
