Federal Student Aid Posts Registration Information for December 2026 Training Conference: Event Set for December 14-16
The U.S. Department of Education's office of Federal Student Aid posted an electronic announcement (GENERAL-26-67) on October 22 through its Knowledge Center, releasing registration information for the December 2026 Federal Student Aid Training Conference. The annual training conference is scheduled for December 14-16, 2026, and is aimed at staff at colleges, universities, and student-aid organizations across the country.
The Federal Student Aid Training Conference is the Department's main annual training event for student-aid professionals. Its sessions cover the administration of the federal student aid programs, including application processing, loan origination and servicing, compliance requirements, and the systems and tools used to deliver aid. Financial aid office staff typically use the conference to learn about policy and process changes for the coming award year.
In the same period, Federal Student Aid issued several other operational announcements, including a new service release for the EDExpress for Windows 2026-27 software to update Direct Loan award calculations and resolve software issues, and a notice that institutions must complete active confirmation by December 31 to maintain access to Federal Student Aid systems. The Department said the announcements are available through its Knowledge Center.
