Department of Education Electronic Announcement
Federal Register Notice Extending Institutional and Applicant Deadlines (Hurricane Rita Announcement #3)
HURRICANE RITA INFORMATION - ELECTRONIC ANNOUNCEMENT # 3
(10-17-05)
From: Terri Shaw,
Chief Operating Officer, Federal Student Aid
Subject: Federal Register Notice Extending Institutional and Applicant Deadlines
As a result of the extensive damage and disruption caused by Hurricane Rita, the Department
published on, October 14, 2005 a Notice in the Federal Register
extending student aid institutional reporting and application deadlines
summarized in the following chart. (The Federal Register
Notice is attached to this announcement).
The Federal
Register Notice provides that the extended deadlines apply to (1)
institutions and third-party servicers that are located in a federally
declared disaster area and that are adversely impacted by Hurricane Rita,
and (2) applicants that are adversely impacted by Hurricane Rita. However,
any institution that, because of the hurricane, is unable to meet any
reporting deadline may call the appropriate person or call center, as
noted in the chart below, to request an extension. These requests will
be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
An impacted institution,
third-party servicer, or applicant that cannot meet an extended deadline
may request an additional extension by contacting the appropriate person
or call center, as specified in the chart. In addition, an impacted institution
or third-party servicer that does not meet a current deadline must maintain
documentation of the hurricane-related reason that caused it to miss the
deadline.
