Summary: Availability
of Updated 2008-2009 Federal School Code List of Participating Schools
Federal Student Aid
is pleased to announce the availability of the updated electronic 2008-2009
Federal School Code (FSC) List of Participating Schools on the Information
for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web site (http://ifap.ed.gov).
The list will also be available on the National
College Access Network (NCAN) Web site (http://www.collegeaccess.org/NCAN/).
The Federal School
Code List contains the unique codes assigned by the Department of Education
for schools participating in the Title IV federal student aid programs.
Students enter these codes on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) to indicate which postsecondary schools will receive the processed
application results.
As noted in the electronic
announcement posted on August 24, 2007, the Federal School Code List
of Participating Schools is only available electronically as a PDF file
for the 2008-2009 award year. We no longer distribute the list in hard-copy
format. In addition to the Federal School Code search that is already
available on FAFSA on the Web (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/),
the PDF file provides you with the most current FSC information available
in a searchable format. We will remind you quarterly to update your FSC
information, after which an updated PDF file will be posted.
Submitting
Updates to FSC Information
To update your FSC
information, go to the Electronic Application
for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs
(E-App) Web site, located at http://eligcert.ed.gov.
Click on "Update your Federal School Code Addresses which are used
by the FAFSA" on the left side of the page under the "Other
Features" section.
Note: A school
can only have one city and state for each FSC. In addition, changes to
the FSC File do not update your school's name or address in any other
U.S. Department of Education database. If you need to change the "Official
Name or Address" of your school, you must submit an "Update"
application through the E-App Web site.
Contact Information
We appreciate your
assistance in keeping your school's Federal School Code information up
to date. For help with the E-App Web
site, contact the Federal Student Aid School Participation Team for
your state. Please see the E-App home
page for the phone number of your School Participation Team.
