On September 23, 2025, USAC announced that the administrative window for Funding Year 2026 will open on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. The admin window precedes the annual Form 471 filing window and allows applicants to update information about their school and library locations, student enrollment or library square footage, and National School Lunch Program information for calculating discount rates. Before the FY2026 application filing window opens in early 2026, applicant profiles will be locked, and applicants will not be able to make changes to their profile information.
More information about the administrative window may be found in USAC’s September 23 News Brief.
