Preparing for Schedule of Reduction

Tue, July 21, 2026 @ 2:00 pm EDT

The implementation of Schedule of Reduction (SOR) requirements presents new challenges for financial aid administrators. This special 90-minute webinar will focus on practical approaches to packaging and managing federal student loans under the new rules.

Topics will include:

  • Packaging aid for students enrolled less than full-time
  • Adjusting loan eligibility when enrollment changes during the academic year
  • Best practices for implementing and monitoring SOR requirements
  • Intersections with Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4)
  • Considerations for Grad PLUS borrowers
  • Summer header and trailer terms
  • This session is designed to be interactive, with opportunities for participants to ask questions throughout the presentation.

Alex received his FAAC designation in 2023 and is one of EASFAA's in person trainers for the workshop, as well as a facilitator for NASFAA's online workshop.
