Federal Updates

ED releases official deadline extensions

TG announced in a previously published Shoptalk Online that ED intended to extend certain institutional reporting and applicant filing deadlines for schools and students located in federally declared disaster areas created by this summer's hurricanes.

In its Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) GEN-04-09, ED announced its intent to publish the extended deadlines in a future Federal Register and provided information on the Title IV program deadlines scheduled for extension. ED has now posted a notice in the October 15, 2004, Federal Register officially establishing the new deadlines.
