[Oasfaa] EAC CONFERENCE -- NSLDS FOCUS GROUP

[Brooks, Gwineth F]

> We will be attending the EAC conference next week and will be part of a
> focus group that will be looking at NSLDS issues.  The point of the focus
> group (just a little pun) will be to get opinions and ideas about how
> NSLDSS and CPS could be enhanced or coordinated to provide schools with
> better financial aid history information in support of the school's
> determination of the applicant's eligibility for Title IV aid.
> 
> One issue that Pam McConahay has identified within our office is that once
> the NSLDS record is updated for a student, that data appears to overlay
> all transactions.  This wipes out any prior data upon which a school may
> have based a student's award.  This seems to be the case on  FAA Access as
> well as on records that are imported into ED Express.  It makes it hard to
> determine what changes have taken place in the record.
> 
> I will be happy to voice any concerns on behalf of our Oklahoma schools.
> If any of you are going to Orlando, please let me know.  I'll look forward
> to seeing you there.

> Thanks.

> P.S.   HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
