EPC Profile Admin Window Closes Soon

Final Days to Update EPC Profiles

****Deadline is February 26 – which is a SUNDAY****

Schools only have a few days to update their enrollment/NSLP data in each school’s EPC profile before the special FY 2017 E-rate Admin Window closes at midnight on Sunday, February 26.  I strongly encourage you to consider Friday, February 24 as the deadline because we’re told that USAC’s Client Service Bureau (CSB) will not be open this weekend in case you run into issues. After that, the data will be “locked down” and the Form 471 window will open at noon on February 27.  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.

Entering Enrollment/NSLP (or CEP) Data in EPC

• Update the Enrollment and NSLP data for each school by clicking on the school’s name from your Landing Page. 
• If you need to add or remove any entities, create a Customer Service Case in EPC by Friday, February 24.
• You may also use alternative data (such as surveys, more recent data, etc.), or last year’s data, but regardless of which data you use, you cannot mix funding years.   
• If a school is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, “CEP” will be noted in the Free/Reduced Lunch Column (Column I) in which case that school’s EPC Profile should mark YES the Community Eligibility Provision and then enter the CEP% number from Column J in the required field.
