EPC NOTES
The E-rate Productivity Center (EPC) is the account and application management portal for the Schools and Libraries (E-rate)
Program. Applicants, consultants, and service providers participating in the E-rate Program will use this tool to manage program
processes and to submit questions.
We are aware that there are known issues with the current system.
