Common Manual News
The release of the 2005 electronic version of the Common Manual Unified Student Loan Policy is now available on OGSLP’s Web site. This update reflects federal regulations and guarantor policies in effect as of July 1, 2005.
The 2005 electronic version includes expanded hyperlinks as a result of the Policy Committee’s recently completed project cite sweep. This project included a complete review of the Manual and more citations and links were added to expand the use of the Common Manual as a reference tool.
In the near future, this newest version of the Common Manual will be available in paper and as part of the e-Collection CD. OGSLP will mail a copy of the 2005 e-Collection to Oklahoma schools and lenders. We are mailing one CD to each institution or organization.If you are unable to network the CD for multiple users within your office, you may contact OGSLP at 405.234.4440 or 1.800.247.0420 for additional copies.
