Subject: Login Requirement for CPS Web Applications Demonstration System to be Removed on January 20, 2019
On January 20, 2019, Federal Student Aid (FSA) will remove the login requirement for access to the Central Processing System (CPS) Web Applications Demonstration (Web Demo) System, located at https://fafsademo.test.ed.gov. A user ID and password will no longer be required.
Note: Prior to January 20, 2019, users must continue to provide the existing case-sensitive user name and password to access the Web Demo System.
The Web Demo system, which is preloaded with test data, can be used to demonstrate electronic applications to parents and students or as an aid in training financial aid administrators to assist applicants. Financial aid administrators can also use the website to become familiar with FAA Access to CPS Online functionality and train their staff to use the system. Most production-version features of the 2018–19 and 2019–20 fafsa.gov and FAA Access to CPS Online (including Return of Title IV Funds) websites are available on the Web Demo system.
In the near future, we will also update the 2019–20 CPS Test System User Guide to indicate that login information is no longer required for the Web Demo system. The 2019–20 CPS Test System User Guide is available in PDF format on the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) website, located at https://fsadownload.ed.gov, under “Technical References and Guides.” FSA encourages the community to watch the Information for Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) website for this announcement in early February, 2019.
