In September 2000, the Department of Education (ED) released Dear Partner Letter GEN-00-14 announcing the availability of the web-based Bulk Publication Ordering System (BPOS) for schools to use to order 2001-2002 application materials. Available for order through the BPOS are the 2001-2002 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which ED will begin shipping in mid-October, and the 2001-2002 versions of The Student Guide and Funding Your Education, which ED will ship in November. Also available through the BPOS are the publications website Brochure and Drug Convictions May Affect Your Student Aid. Schools can access ED's Bulk Publication Ordering System at www.ifap.ed.gov (click on "Ordering Publications" from the list of links on the left-hand side).
