Program Deadlines

Schools and Libraries Program Deadlines

This tool was designed to explain and help you calculate deadlines for universal service forms and actions. From the left column, choose the form or action you are interested in. Enter the data requested to calculate the deadline. If no data are required, the tool will provide a brief description of the deadline.

Some deadlines are fixed, some depend on other dates or actions, and some can be extended. The consequences of missing a deadline are not always the same. For more information on a particular deadline, follow the link at the top the page of the entry for that deadline.

If you are using this tool to calculate a deadline, you must know it is designed to simply count calendar days from the date(s) entered. In general, if the deadline for a submission falls on a non-business day (e.g., Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday), the deadline becomes the next business day. It is your responsibility to meet deadlines.

It is also your responsibility to meet program deadlines.
