This trainee workbook, to accompany a one-day workshop at the Student Financial Assistance (SFA) University, is intended for individuals who are processing student financial aid applications using electronic methods such as EDExpress (Electronic Data Exchange) or FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Express. The first section of the workbook is an overview and covers various implementation issues for using EDE. The next two sections cover the six-step process (entering data, exporting data, transmitting data, processing data, receiving data, and importing data) for managing applications and for working with ISIRs (institutional student information records). The final section is a review in order to apply what has been learned. Appendices include a unit on using queries to select or filter data, additional exercise material, an explanation of various toolbars on the EDExpress screens, and a section on print reports. The workbook material is extensively illustrated with samples of aid forms and typical computer entries. (CH)
