1  The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions must be completed and accepted before 12:00 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12:00 midnight but are not completed until after 12:00 midnight, those transmissions do not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission submitted on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying them of the rejection.
2  The date the ISIR/FAFSA Submission Summary transaction was processed by FPS is considered to be the date the institution received the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary regardless of whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) mailbox or when the student submits the FAFSA Submission Summary to the institution. For the 2024-25 Award Year, as published by the Department in the July 30, 2024 Electronic Announcement (GENERAL-24-94), institutions have additional flexibilities for students who applied via the paper FAFSA form and were enrolled only for the 2024 summer term. An institution may still award and disburse funds for a student that is no longer enrolled for the 2024-25 Award Year if the following criteria are met: (a) the institution receives an ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary for the student; (b) the student applied via the paper FAFSA form; (c) the student was enrolled during the 2024 summer term but is no longer enrolled; (d) the Application Receipt Date on the ISIR or FAFSA Submission Summary is on or before the student's last date of enrollment; and (3) the student was otherwise eligible to receive title IV program funding, subject to all other late disbursement requirements.

3  Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for Pell Grant applicants and applicants selected for verification, deadline dates for the submission of a valid FAFSA Submission Summary or valid ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs and the Direct Loan Program, but it cannot be later than this deadline date.
4  Note that changes to previously submitted Identity Verification Results must be updated within 30 days of the institution becoming aware that a change has occurred.
