E-Rate Timelines

[Mary Mehsikomer]

Hi Everyone: 

I was just reading the latest news bulletin from the State Education Technology Directors' Association and ran across this article about USAC setting specific timelines for E-rate application for Funding Year 2019. I just thought I'd share it for your planning processes:

USAC Plans E-Rate Cycle Dates
USAC set specific E-rate cycle dates that applicants can rely on for advanced planning purposes. You can read more here.
Below is a list of the new standard E-Rate filing dates which begins with FY2019. 

• July 1 - Open Window  Form 470 for the Next Funding Year
• October 1 - January 7 - Administration EPC Profile Window
• January 10 - March 20 -  Form 471 Filing Window
• February 20 - Form 470 Window Close (28-Day) (DDD) 
• April 19 - September 1 - Usac Goal to issue FCDLs

Hope you are all doing well!

Hello,

I just noticed on the USAC website that the eRate Funding Year 2019 Filing window is January 16, 2019 to March 27, 2019, so I thought I would pass this on the the group.

Hope you are keeping warm!
