The Transmission Queue houses all files used to communicate with any Department of ED systems. This includes:

  • Common Origination & Disbursements (COD)
  • Central Processing System (CPS)
  • National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).

Files in the transmission queue include both export and import/response files. All DOE files can be auto imported and exported to CORE with file sweeps via a secure FTP** site connected to the Department of Education's TD Client system.


**FTP means "File Transfer Protocol" and refers to a group of rules that govern how computers transfer files from one system to another over the internet. Businesses use FTP to send files between computers, while websites use FTP for the uploading and downloading of files from their website's servers.
