The internet is used continuously to download student files fromstate and federal agencies into Datatel. Required state and federal financial aidreports completed for these same agencies must be uploaded to maintaininstitution eligibility.The technology department has been very supportive of the needs of theFinancial Aid Office. Technology staff responds in a timely manner whenever anissue which will affect students receiving their funds arises.- 270 -
