"May 1 is usually when high school seniors start flaunting T-shirts and hats from the colleges they’ll be attending in the fall. But decision day is looking more muted this year, the result of a scrambled financial aid application process that has pushed some enrollment deadlines well past Memorial Day," NBC News reports.

... "The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, a network that has sharply criticized the Department of Education over this year’s FAFSA process, applauded its momentum in clearing up roadblocks."

"'We are pleased to see the Department make forward progress on its timeline to provide accurate student FAFSA information to colleges and universities, so they can complete the work of packaging and delivering financial aid offers to students,' the association’s president and CEO, Justin Draeger, said in a statement Tuesday."
