Reporting Perkins Cash on Hand

Schools with a Federal Perkins Loan Revolving Fund must update Part III, Section A, Line 1.2 (Cash on hand and in depository as of 10/31/2017) to the amount that was on hand as of October 31, 2017. Instructions for completing this item are on page III­–3 of the FISAP Instructions.

Other Important Notes

Remember to submit the updated FISAP – Simply validating and/or saving the new data entry does not result in submission to the Department. After updating and validating Line 1.2, it is imperative that schools complete the process by using the “Submit” button.

Verify that changes/corrections have been received by the Department – Schools should log in to the eCampus-Based (eCB) website, select the “Self-Service” link in the top navigation bar and scroll to the “Acknowledgements” section. Then, select “Submission Log” to view the log and verify submission of the update.

Signature not required for FISAP changes – Schools are not required to re-send signature pages or perform eSignature functions when changes are made to a previously submitted FISAP.
