Summary: We are
pleased to announce the release of the third of three online, self-paced
learning modules on EDExpress for 2006-07. This module, "Pell Grant and
Direct Loan Processing" covers all the Pell Grant Program and Direct Loan
functions of the EDExpress software.
Dear Partner:
We are pleased to
announce the release of the third module of EDExpress Basics, the web-based
training product that teaches users the basic skills needed to access
and navigate the 2006-07 EDExpress and EDConnect software. This module
covers Pell Grant and Direct Loan Processing functions. To access EDExpress
Basics, go to http://fsa4schools.ed.gov/edexpressbasics
By using the software
in a simulated environment, users will gain an understanding of the fundamental
Pell and Direct Loan awarding, disbursement and reconciliation functions
of the EDExpress software. This training will be a resource for on-the-job
training and re-training in the use of EDExpress. This self-paced training
is intended for financial aid office staff with day-to-day responsibilities
using the EDExpress software.
A version of EDExpress
Basics that is compliant with Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities
Act will be released in the late spring. Look for that announcement in
the near future.
Sincerely,
Kay Jacks
