Due to delays and errors in the new FAFSA form, colleges and universities in Massachusetts are being urged to extend enrollment deadlines to provide prospective students relying on financial aid with more time to consider offers from different schools. The Department of Education's mishandling of the FAFSA has caused delays in sending financial aid information to colleges, potentially leaving applicants with less than 30 days to make decisions. Some Massachusetts schools have already extended their deadlines, while prestigious institutions like MIT and Harvard are considering case-by-case exceptions. This move could set a precedent for other schools nationwide to follow suit.
Google has extended the deadline for its web-based conversion tool that allows users to convert their Stadia Controller to Bluetooth mode. Originally set to end on December 31, 2023, the deadline has been extended to December 31, 2024.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has extended the deadline for reporting companies created or registered in 2024 to file their initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports. These companies will have 90 calendar days from the date of receiving notice to file their reports, with no submissions accepted before January 1, 2024. The extension aims to provide additional time for companies to understand the new regulatory obligation and gather the necessary information. Reporting companies created or registered before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, to file their reports, while those created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, have 30 calendar days to comply.
The Microsoft Activision deal, which was expected to close this week, has been delayed due to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) raising concerns about cloud-based issues. The deadline has now been extended to October 18, giving Microsoft time to address the CMA's concerns. Despite the delay, the deal is expected to proceed, as other regulatory bodies have not raised significant objections. The extension is a precautionary measure, and the deal may close sooner if a compromise is reached with the CMA.
