Although the system allows users to add multiple instances of COD related funds, Regent discourages having any duplicated COD funds because of its impact on the COD Rebuild Process. The COD Rebuild import process uses this field when linking COD Rebuild award data in the COD Rebuild file to its associated Regent Award fund.

NOTE: If a new fund is added, and it is of an official fund type that is the same as one of our "pre-installed" funds in Regent Award, once the fund is saved, the fields that are locked down for that official fund type will be locked down for the newly added fund.

Required for FAY-based funds

This setting will only be available when 'Fund Scope' selection is 'Federal Award Year.'

Allow multiple FAY scoped awards per period

• The import awards process will attempt to consolidate multiple awards from the same fund in the same period to a single award, which is then marked "manual" by Regent Award.  
• If the user opens Add Award Wizard (AAW) to add a fund, on step 1 of AAW, Regent Award determines whether or not this fund already exists on the period.  If the fund already exists, the system will switch the AAW wizard to the Modify Award Wizard (MAW) because this fund already exists for the award period.  From that point, the user will be modifying the existing fund that is on the period, not adding a new fund.

If set to Yes:

• Regent Award will import two of the same awards on the same period and the awards will NOT be consolidated into a single award, nor will they be marked as manual.
• AAW will allow the user to add another fund of the same fund type to the same period.

Portal Settings

Default is Unselected

Allow Students to Accept Lower Amounts or Decline Awards from the Student Portal

When this field is Yes, students can edit and reduce passive-acceptance awards (awards created in Accepted status) from the Student Portal. The setting has no effect on active-acceptance awards (awards created in Offered status). 

This setting must be "Yes" for all funds appearing on Regent Plan - Select Plan, and Change My Borrowing.

This setting needs to have the same value for Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans.

When this setting has a value of 'Yes,' the system will populate the 'User Accepted Amount' value on Import Awards, which will prevent Regent from repackaging an Accepted-status imported award at a higher amount. If an award such as a Title IV loan is Imported, the school can configure this fund setting to 'Yes' to preserve the original Accepted amounts on Accepted-status loans. Students may then accept additional eligibility from the portal. When this setting is 'No," RNA will not set the 'User Accepted Amount.' Any imported Accepted-status awards (passive-acceptance flow) will automatically adjust to match the Calculated Eligibility, regardless of the original import amount. For example, when this setting is 'No' on a Pell Grant imported through the conversion process, the system will automatically adjust the Pell amount. 

• No (default)
• Yes

Default value is No. 

The setting is only available (can only be set to Yes) for Title IV Direct Loans. 

Fund Eligibility

Require At Least Half-Time Enrollment Level in All Paid Terms

• No (Default): Do not consider enrollment level and disbursement paid status for renewing the award in future award years.

• Yes: If any term or payment period had a positive paid disbursement from this fund, but that term’s enrollment level changed to be Less Than Half Time or was fully withdrawn, then disqualify all eligibility from this fund for future award years.

For example, a school might want to set “Allow Auto-Adjustment of Paid Disbursements” to No for a fund that normally requires a minimum half-time enrollment level. However, the school might want to disallow future eligibility for a student who had a paid amount in a Fall term, that turned into an overaward after the student withdrew or dropped below half-time enrollment in the Fall term. When the configured setting is “Yes,” then future award years would consider the student ineligible. The student would still be eligible during the remaining Spring and Summer terms in the award year.

If this value is null/blank/empty/not set, package as if the value were No.

Use UDF Award Status

When the field is set with a UDF and a UDF is added (via SBL or manually) to a student record, the fund will use the UDF value provided to set the award status during packaging for the fund. Only UDF values of 'Offered' or 'Accepted' will be accepted. UDFs sent with any other value will be packaged using the Initial Status or the Override Award Status configuration.

The UDF Award Status takes precedence over both the Initial Status and the Override Award Status configurations.

This setting controls how Regent Award will make changes when packaging awards and disbursement amounts that occur in the past.

Past Award Periods: Regent Award will continue to repackage the entire award for all payment periods in the current award period until the award's end date is in the past. Once the award's end date is in the past, the system will not automatically change that award, but will continue to package the fund for future payment periods. This is the default system behavior.

Past Payment Periods: Regent Award will not make any automatic changes to amounts in past payment periods. A past PP is any payment period or term having an end date of yesterday or earlier. The system will still repackage amounts in current and future payment periods.

Financial Aid staff can still add or change the award amounts as needed using Modify Award Wizard.

Award Distribution Options

This field allows the user to determine how this fund will be awarded if the fund does not have a rule set.

Divide Evenly Across PPs (default)

Divide Evenly Across PPs in FAY, Not to Exceed Cost per PP

Distribute Using Payment Period Amounts

If "Divide Evenly Across PPs" is chosen, the total amount of the award will be divided evenly across the PPs within the FAY or AY (dependent upon fund scope), with an even portion being awarded each PP.

If "Divide Evenly Across PPs in FAY, Not to Exceed Cost per PP" is chosen, the total amount of the award will be divided evenly across the PPs within the FAY, giving consideration to the "Package To" cost cap for the PP.

If "Distribute Using Payment Period Amounts" is chosen, the amount per payment period value will be awarded to the student per payment period using the FAY and/or effective dates provided, up to the remaining eligibility (e.g. Aggregate limits, COA, Direct Loans).  The first payment period will be packaged first, up to the full Amount Per Payment Period, prior to awarding subsequent periods.

Designates if the fund is a need-based fund or a non-need-based fund.

If awarding to Cost of Attendance (COA):

When

 'Non-Need-Based Fund used to Replace SAI' is true/selected, then the fund can be awarded beyond Remaining Unmet Need up to the amount of the

Student Aid Index (SAI), as long as the

SAI for the period was not already replaced by another Fund, and honoring all other eligibility limits

. Eligibility for such need-based funds is calculated by subtracting the SAI and Other Financial Aid, as COA -

SAI -

OFA + lesser of remaining COA or remaining unused

SAI. (Result is pretty much to award per COA -

OFA.)

When 

'Non-Need-Based Fund used to Replace SAI' is false/unselected, then the

SAI must be used in calculating remaining eligibility (need) for the fund.  Eligibility for such need-based funds is calculated as COA -

SAI -

OFA

If awarding to Direct Costs:

When 

'Non-Need-Based Fund used to Replace SAI' is true, then the fund can be awarded beyond Remaining Unmet Need up to the amount of the

SAI (as long as the

SAI for the period was not already replaced by another Fund, and honoring all other eligibility limits). Eligibility for such need-based funds is calculated as Direct Costs -

SAI -

OFA + lesser of remaining Direct Costs or remaining unused

SAI (Result is to award per Direct Costs -

OFA).

When 

'Non-Need-Based Fund used to Replace SAI' is false, then the

SAI must be used in calculating remaining eligibility (need) for the fund. Eligibility for such need-based funds is calculated as the lesser of Remaining Unmet Need (COA -

SAI - OFA) or Remaining Unmet Direct Costs (DC - OFA)

In all the above calculations, if the SAI has a negative value, Regent substitutes a $0 (zero) for the SAI value. See Awarding And Packaging

• Select (Default)
• Less Than Half Time
• Half Time
• Three Quarter Time
• Full Time

• For example, if the 'Enrollment Status Min' is Half Time, and 'Enrollment Status Max' is blank, a student must be enrolled at least Half Time or greater in the term to be eligible to receive an amount for that payment period.

A value for 'Enrollment Status Max' can be configured without adding an 'Enrollment Status Min' long as validation allows.

• For example, if the 'Enrollment Status Max' is configured as Three-Quarter Time and 'Enrollment Status Min' is blank, a student must be enrolled in less than or equal to a Three-Quarter Time enrollment level or the student will not receive an award amount for that payment period. 

If only the 'Enrollment Status Min' is blank but the 'Enrollment Status Max' has a value, all payment period enrollment status values through the configured 'Enrollment Status Max' are considered for awarding.

If only the 'Enrollment Status Max' is blank but the 'Enrollment Status Min' has a value, all payment periods with an enrollment status greater than or equal to the 'Enrollment Status Min' are considered for awarding.

If both the 'Enrollment Status Min' and 'Enrollment Status Max' are blank, the payment period enrollment status is not considered for awarding.

Begin and Cease Auto-Packaging Settings Table

If no Begin Date is configured for a specific FAY, all award periods with the specific FAY will be packaged until the Auto-Packaging Cease Date.

If no Cease Date is configured for a FAY, all award periods with the specific FAY will begin packaging as of the Auto-Packaging Begin Date and continue packaging until the FAY is closed.

If no Begin Date or Cease Date is configured for one or more FAYs, the fund will always be packaged for all non-configured FAY award periods.

Once date in ‘Cease Auto-Packaging Settings’ is reached, do not allow fund for the specified FAY to be 'auto-packaged' by any means (batch packaging scheduled over-night process, manual batch package process or MAP)

If this option is set to "No" the student will not receive any funds during a break. 

If the student has overlapping breaks with varying configuration, the most restrictive settings take precedence.

For example, an institutional break is setup to a value of "Yes", but the institutional break overlaps with a Student "LOA" break setup to a value of "No". The student should not disburse during the overlapping dates because the student break is set to the more restrictive setting.

Any disbursements scheduled during the break will be disbursed on the first EST export after the student returns from break. 

If this option is set to "Yes", and there is a scheduled disbursement during that break, the student will receive funds.

If this option is set to "Only for prior completed payment periods", late disbursements from prior completed payment periods should EST even if the student is on a break. The disbursements for the current payment period should still be blocked from EST.

Effective Start and End Date range is based on the payment period start date. If the start date for the payment period falls somewhere between the budget start date and the budget end date, then this budget will apply to that student. (The PP start date of the period we are trying to fund needs to be in the effective date range.)

Academic Year (default)

This will determine which students are awarded out of this budget.  For example, if you choose AY as the period type, with a date range of 9/1/2012 through 12/1/2012, then any student’s whose AY start date falls in that range, will be awarded out of this budget.
