Final 2022-23 Student Certifications Due by August 8, 2024

Published

Dear Colleagues,

On July 11, 2024, HESC provided a final 2022-23 roster for processing to schools. This roster includes newly eligible students as well as those who were not able to successfully complete the income verification process (IVP). Please process these accounts immediately and if school information determines the student is not income-eligible, please decertify the award. All certifications and corrections must be completed by Thursday, August 8, 2024.

After August 8, 2024, HESC will no longer accept certifications for the 2022-23 academic year, which ended on June 30, 2023. All student certification transactions for 2022-23 rosters and Excelsior/ETA manifests must be submitted by close of business on Thursday, August 8, 2024, in order to be processed. HESC expects to generate final accounting documents, remittance advices, student status listings, and manifests the week of August 12, 2024, for the 2022-23 academic year.

Transactions left pending or in an error status after August 8, 2024, will be decertified by HESC.
