~ Deadline is February 26 \u2013 which is a SUNDAY ~<\/strong><\/p>\n ~ Helpful Guide Attached<\/a> ~<\/p>\n The special FY 2017 E-rate Admin Window is now open, and schools have until February 26 \u2013 which is a Sunday – to update their school and library profiles, so let\u2019s just say that the real deadline is Friday, February 24.\u00a0 After that, the data will be \u201clocked down\u201d and the Form 471 window will open on February 27.\u00a0 After the Admin Window closes, it will not be possible to update this data in the EPC profiles because that data will be linked to active library and consortia applications.<\/p>\n Entering Enrollment\/NSLP (or CEP) Data in EPC<\/strong><\/p>\n — Update the Enrollment and NSLP data for each school by clicking on the school\u2019s name from your Landing Page.<\/p>\n \u2013 If you need to add or remove any entities, create a Customer Service Case in EPC.<\/p>\n — You may also use alternative data (such as surveys, more recent data, etc.), or last year\u2019s data, but regardless of which data you use, you cannot mix funding years.\u00a0 I recommend using the data attached<\/a> to this message in order to have a painless PIA review.<\/p>\n — If a school is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, \u201cCEP\u201d will be noted in the Free\/Reduced Lunch Column (Column I) in which case that school\u2019s EPC Profile should mark YES the Community Eligibility Provision and then enter the CEP% number from Column J in the required field.<\/p>\n — Attached is an updated Guide to Updating EPC Profiles which contains screenshots of the EPC profile pages for both CEP schools and non CEP schools.\u00a0 Use this Guide and you will succeed!<\/p>\n Helpful Hints:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have any questions, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact me at jtschell@comcast.net<\/a>!<\/p>\n — Julie<\/p>\n Julie Tritt Schell penn*link<\/p>\n\n\n
