System Glitch to Recently Created Effort Certification Documents – Q03 2026

May 1, 2026

*** Please see the memo below from the Office of Financial Analysis. *** 

In collaboration with effort reviewers from multiple schools, we have identified a system glitch that occurred during the creation of the effort certification documents for this period. While most effort documents have not been initiated, the entire population was impacted.

As a result, effective this evening, the original impacted ECD batch has been canceled, and the documents have been recreated.

We apologize to those reviewers who have already worked to complete the documents. Our office will be reaching out to you with additional details related to your affected population.

Due to this unforeseen event, we will be postponing the opening of the 30-Day period from May 12, 2026 to May 15, 2026.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you!
