Loan reports, Direct Loan servicing, resources for borrowers, and resources
for schools. This training is geared to individuals on the financial aid staff

already process Direct Loans but who are new in their positions.

Once registered, we will send an e-mail confirmation to the trainee. The trainee
should retain this confirmation, as it contains important information, including

information. If unable to attend, we request that the trainee cancel his or
her registration so that individuals who wish to attend may do so.
PowerPoint slides will be available for each trainee to download after he or
she signs in to the webinar. During the webinar, trainees will be able to ask
questions electronically using their computers.
We look forward to your participation in this instructor-led, online training
opportunity. If you have questions about this training opportunity, please contact
