The Department of Education (ED) in an electronic announcement detailed its planned implementation of Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System functionality, which supports campus-based programs and the processing of student aid program awards for the 2024-25 award year, that will require a suspension of batch processing from 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 20, 2024, to 11 a.m. ET on Sunday, April 21, 2024. During the outage users will not be able to submit or retrieve data from the COD website and they will be unable to access COD reports. ED also provided attachments with reminders for the 2024-25 award year and system changes that will be implemented on April 21, at which time, following the suspension of processing, schools can begin to send records to COD.
