SUMMARY: This letter announces a make-up session for Day Two of the 1997-98 Title IV Training
originally scheduled for Middlebury, Vermont, and includes a registration form.

Dear Colleague:

Inclement weather forced us to cancel Day Two of the Title IV
Training workshop scheduled for March 5-6 at Middlebury College,
Middlebury, Vermont. We have scheduled a make-up session for
Day Two on Thursday, May 29, at Vermont Technical College in
Randolph Center, Vermont.

Day Two consists of topics that prior-year audiences have identified
as needing continued review and practice. There will be NO NEW
POLICY INFORMATION PRESENTED at this training. These
sessions are aimed at individuals with a basic understanding of the
topics listed below, and are not intended to introduce the neophyte to
these areas. Financial aid office staff responsible for the functions
listed would most benefit from this information. These topics will
include a great deal of hands-on activity, such as completion of case
studies.

- Verification
Requirements and processes for verifying applicant data

- Refund and Repayment Calculations
Requirements and processes for calculating Title IV refunds and
repayments

- Pell Calculations
Requirements and processes for calculating Federal Pell Grant
awards, including treatment of summer terms and transfer students

- Loan Maximums and Proration
Requirements and processes for prorating Direct Loan and FFEL
annual loan limits; determining borrower eligibility for maximum
loan limits

You should bring a calculator for performing the case studies and a
three-ring binder for the Trainee Guide. The Guide will be
distributed at the training.
