This component of the Department of Education's (ED) 17-module self-instructional course in student financial aid administration (designed to teach novice financial aid administrators and other institutional personnel about the management of federal financial aid programs authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act) is a support booklet providing reference materials for the course and guidelines for study beyond the course. It contains compiled versions of the acronyms, glossaries, references, bibliography and index sections of the 17 course modules. Guidelines for further study include continued self-instruction, formal training sessions and individualized technical assistance (sponsored by the ED Office of Student Financial Assistance), professional association membership (such as the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators and National Association of College and University Business Officers), and informal networking among aid administrators.
