Federal Student Aid has rolled out a new online, self‑paced training course to guide colleges and universities through the completion of the Fiscal Operations Report for 2024–25 and the Application to Participate for the 2026–27 award year.
The course is now available on the FSA Training Center.
The FISAP is available on the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website and must be submitted by Oct. 1, 2025, by schools that are requesting Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS) program funds for the 2026–27 award year and/or that had either FSEOG and FWS expenditures or Federal Perkins Loan activity for the 2024–25 award year.
In the new training, FSA reviews line-by-line instructions for each section of the FISAP and discuss commonly made errors when completing the form. The course also provides video demonstrations on how to complete the FISAP on the COD website.
The training is intended for financial aid and business office staff who are responsible for submitting the FISAP, especially those who are new to completing the form.
To access the training, log in to the FSA Training Center with your username and password. After logging in, select “Systems Training” from the main menu bar. From the drop-down menu that appears, choose “FISAP Submissions in COD” and then select “Start Here” to launch the course.
Note: If you do not have a username and password for the FSA Training Center, scroll to the bottom of the log-in page and choose “Create new account.” Follow the instructions to create a username and password.
PDF versions of the current FISAP form and instructions are available on the Knowledge Center website.
