Subject: OUTAGE ALERT - Federal Student Aid Web Site and System Outages Scheduled for December 18, 2011

On December 18, 2011, we plan to implement annual system updates to the Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) Enrollment Web site. The updates will add the 2012-2013 Award Year to the appropriate services. In addition, users currently enrolled for 2011-2012 batch services or FAA Access to CPS Online services will be automatically enrolled for those services for the 2012-2013 cycle.

This work is being completed in conjunction with other annual system updates and routine maintenance planned for Sunday, December 18, 2011. As a result, several other Web sites will also be unavailable.
