Not related to financial aid systems, but the DoD has created a self-assessment scoring system for themselves on 
800-171, and NIST provides 800-171a, they are a starting point

Is anyone aware of templates, checklists, or other guidance around performing this self-assessment? I just watched 
Mia Jordan’s talk from the 2020 Virtual FSA training conference and while the talk was informative, she didn’t 
provide any resources or a timeline for the self-assessment process. I’m reaching out to the contact email in the 
slides, but I’m wondering if I’ve missed something somewhere along the way.

Some slides from the 2020 student aid conference describing a compliance framework for glba + CUI
The bullet points on the near-term plan on pg 18 include the 12/18/20 letter and self-assessments

Hello Everyone, 
 
In a meeting with peer institutions it was said that at the Federal level there’s been discussions that university 
student information systems must treat resident data as CUI and have their systems be compliant with NIST 800-171 or 
risk losing financial aid.  Has anyone heard something similar to this or received communications about it?
