Title IV Credit Balances

After processing a student's R2t4 calculation as well as the student's institutional calculation and the student has a credit balance (federal funds the institution was allowed to keep from the R2t4 calculation exceed the institutional charges for the period), it is legal for a school to reduce the student's loan debt with the credit balance as long as the student has provided authorization to do so?

Compressing the Processing Timeline

We are striving to compress the time between receiving the FAFSA and giving the student the Award Letter. I would like to hear from others' experiences regarding this. What is your average timeline? Are you trying to shorten your processing time? What issues / problems have you encountered?
