2025-2026: E-RATE PRODUCTIVITY CENTER 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 program must use this tool to manage program processes. Accounts have been set up for each school district with the business official initially named as Account Administrator. Once this account is activated, the business official may set up accounts for additional school district users as well as the CNYRIC E-rate Department and  set permissions (full or partial rights, or view-only rights). Over the next 12 months, all program forms will be moved into EPC. _____________________________________ Annual Meetings/Presentations Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES Date and location to be determined OCM BOCES / CNYRIC Date and location to be determined Oswego County BOCES Date and location to be determined TST BOCES Date and location to be determined
