    Alternate NSLDS Pell School Code Reporting IndentifierOptionalText box - alphanumeric 8 characters max
    This field provides an alternative approach when Regent Award is determining the Pell paid percentage from the ISIR. A branch campus can report to COD through a parent campus' OPEID. The parent and branch campus' OPEID are different in these cases. This allows Regent Award to use the parent's OPEID when calculating the percentage of Pell used to determine the remaining eligible amount for the FAY

    Date Used to Consider Non-Rebuild Loans as "Originated":

    This field gives schools the ability to define when a loan is considered "Originated" for the purposes of R2T4 calculations and included as "Aid that could have been disbursed" to the student.

    If the date defined is after the DOD/WDD, the loan is not considered "Originated" and therefore is not included in the R2T4 calculation as "Aid that could have been disbursed" to the student.

    If the date defined is before or equal to the DOD/WDD, the loan is considered "Originated" and included in the R2T4 calculation as "Aid that could have been disbursed" to the student.

    Criteria Used to Consider an MPN Linked to a Loan

    This field will determine whether Direct Loans are included in the R2T4 calculation when an MPN is linked to the award at COD or in Regent Award.

    If "Loan Record Accepted at COD has a Linked MPN" is selected, then the Direct Loan will be included in the R2T4 calculation if the COD Accepted loan has a MPN Linked at COD. 

    If "Loan Record has a Linked MPN - May or may not be Linked at COD" is selected, the Direct Loans will be included in the R2T4 calculation if there is a linked MPN on file, whether it is linked manually in Regent Award or linked at COD.

    Direct Loans that do not have a linked MPN will not be included in the R2T4 calculation.

    Auto-Cancel Excluded Title IV Disbursements for R2T4

    When this setting is selected, any Title IV funds (except for the Federal Work Study) on a student’s account, during the R2T4 period, that are not included in the R2T4 calculation, are cancelled automatically when the R2T4 is finalized

    When this option is set to "Yes," R8 will automatically cancel Title IV (except FWS) disbursements, in the R2T4 period, that were excluded from the R2T4 calculation. 

    When this option is set to "No," this feature is not enabled and users are still required to manually cancel Title IV disbursements that were excluded from the R2T4 calculation during the R2T4 period.

    Offset to Establish PWD Response Deadline

    When a value is provided in this field, Regent Award will add the number of days entered here to the R2T4 Finalization Date to determine the value to auto-populate the "Deadline for student and/or parent to respond" field on the R2T4 Wizard PWD Tab.

    • R2T4 Finalization Date + number of offset days = PWD Response Deadline.
    • For example, 01/01/2019 + 10 offset days = 01/11/2019 - PWD Response Deadline.

    When this date is populated, Regent Award will auto-set the date for which a response from the student is required to accept the PWD funds.

    OptionalText boxNumeric, 2 characters maxDefault will inherit from the "Institution". Zero is a valid entry.
    Offset to Establish Fund Auto-cancellation Date for IOP PWDs

    When a value is provided in this field, Regent Award will add the number of days entered here to the R2T4 Finalization Date to determine the value to auto-populate the "Actual Cancel Date" field for IOP PWDs on the R2T4 Wizard PWD Tab.

    • R2T4 Finalization Date + number of offset days = Auto-cancellation Date for IOP PWDs.
    • For example, 01/01/2019 + 10 offset days = 01/11/2019 - Auto-cancellation Date for IOP PWDs.

    When this date has arrived, and the Net Accepted Amount of the disbursement is blank or $0, Regent Award will automatically cancel the disbursement.

    Include Loan Disbursements Cancelled for Below Half Time Status


    If this setting is "Yes," when the system zeroes out a Direct Loan amount due to a student dropping to below Half Time enrollment status in a term, Regent Award will apply that canceled amount to the "Net Amount that Could Have Been Disbursed" in Step 1 of the R2T4 calculation. The setting applies to term and nonstandard term programs only.

    Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required

    This option MUST be set to yes in order to automate R2T4 within Regent Award.

    This field will determine whether a potential R2T4 is required. 

    If "No" is selected, If "No" is selected, Regent Award will not perform any R2T4 automation. 

    If "Yes" is selected, Regent Award will automatically identify whether a potential R2T4 is required when a Date of Determination is provided on the SBL.

    Offset from DOD for Evaluation of Need for R2T4s

    When a value is provided in this field, Regent Award will attempt to automatically close those R2T4s that are "Not Required." This field will determine the number of days after the DOD that an R2T4 will first be evaluated to determine if the R2T4 is not needed.

    This is an offset from the student's Date of Determination (DOD), received in the SBL R2T4 node for “Date of Determination” or updated on the R2T4 worksheet, manually, by a user.

    • DoD + number of offset days = first day Regent Award will perform the evaluation.
    • For example, 01/01/2019 + 10 offset days = 01/11/2019 - first day Regent Award will perform the evaluation.

    The "Not Required Logic" will be run daily until the R2T4 can be closed as "Not Required", or until the R2T4 is "Finalized" by either a user or the R2T4 Automation Process.

    If Review R2T4 Task triggered by SBL and the DOD in the R2T4 node is further in the past than the number of days for the offset(s), the evaluation will take place on the next run of the R2T4 automation process.

    If a value is entered into this field, but then "Identify Whether Potential R2T4 is required" is changed to "No," then the value entered into this field should be cleared.

    The "Offset from DOD for Evaluation of Need for R2T4s" configuration shall have a validation where the days entered CANNOT be greater than the days entered in the "Offset from DOD to Auto-Finalize R2T4s"

    Offset from DOD to Auto-Finalize R2T4s

    When a value is provided in this field, Regent Award will attempt to automatically finalize those types of R2T4s that are configured under "Types of R2T4s to Auto-Finalize" option. This field will determine the number of days after the DOD that an R2T4 can be assessed for auto-finalization.

    This is an offset from the student's Date of Determination (DOD), received in the SBL R2T4 node for “Date of Determination” or updated on the R2T4 worksheet, manually, by a user.

    This offset will determine when Regent Award will begin evaluating potential R2T4s to see if they can be “Finalized.”

    • DoD + number of offset days = first day Regent Award will perform the evaluation.
    • For example, 01/01/2019 + 25 offset days = 01/26/2019 - first day Regent Award will perform the evaluation.

    The "Auto-Finalization Logic" will be run daily until the R2T4 can be "Finalized" by the R2T4 Automation Process, or until the R2T4 is "Finalized" by a user.

    If Review R2T4 Task triggered by SBL and the DOD in the R2T4 node is further in the past than the number of days for the offset(s), the evaluation will take place on the next run of the R2T4 automation process.
