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.

Alternative calendar schedules ("Alt-FAY") for funds using a 12-month award period. The setting is mainly used for military or institutional funds.

After upgrade to the 4.8.0.0 release, any new FAY-based fund added must have an Alt-FAY value chosen.  

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

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.

For Subsidized loan, Unsubsidized Loan, PLUS, GradPLUS, and TEACH, the value should be set to "Dollar" as COD does not accept cents for these programs.

This field should impact ONLY passive acceptance awards.

When the student accepts this fund, they can accept the award at a certain amount. They might then get repackaged for a larger award at a later date. This causes the system to automatically accept the new award amount.

Upward

Downward

Both

Neither

Should be locked for Pell and IASG only to a value of "Both."

Upward:  If eligibility increases an Accepted award will increase, but if eligibility decreases the Accepted award will not change.

Downward:  If eligibility increases, an Accepted award will not change and a new award will be created for the fund, but if eligibility decreases, the Accepted award will be reduced.

Both:  If eligibility increases or decreases, an Accepted award will change accordingly.

Neither:  If eligibility increases or decreases, an Accepted award will not change, but an additional award will be created for an eligibility increase.

Do not lock this fund in with the census date, allow flexibility throughout the term.

Adjust after census date means that Regent Award can adjust the award if the student’s course data changes after the census date.  Some awards are locked at the census date, so even if the student withdraws from a course after the census date, their awards wouldn’t change for funds that don’t have this flag set.

Adjust after census date allows awards to be adjusted continually even if a census date exists. 

Selected

Unselected(default) 

If the “Adjust after census date” flag is not checked, then the system will use the student's census date enrollment to determine the appropriate amount of the award for the payment period.

If the “Adjust after census date” flag is checked, then the system will use the students current/actual enrollment to determine the appropriate amount of the award for the payment period.

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.

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 COA:

When Replaces EFC is true, then the fund can be awarded beyond Remaining Unmet Need up to the amount of the EFC (as long as the EFC 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 COA - EFC - EFA + lesser of remaining COA or remaining unused EFC (Result is pretty much to award per COA - EFA).

When Replaces EFC is false, then the EFC must be used in calculating remaining eligibility (need) for the fund.  Eligibility for such need-based funds is calculated as COA - EFC - EFA

If awarding to Direct Costs:

When Replaces EFC  is true, then the fund can be awarded beyond Remaining Unmet Need up to the amount of the EFC (as long as the EFC 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 - EFC - EFA + lesser of remaining Direct Costs or remaining unused EFC (Result is to award per Direct Costs - EFA).

When Replaces EFC is false, then the EFC 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 - EFC - EFA) or Remaining Unmet Direct Costs (DC - EFA)

Fund Source has Additional COA Requirements

When this option is selected, the user may access the "Available Cost Group(s)" and "Selected Cost Group(s)" lists. The multi-select list boxes allow users to configure the Costs Groups used for determining the amount (of this fund) to award the student per the Campus's Packaging Philosophy.

Display only Cost Groups within the same campus.

Display only Cost Groups associated to the same site/programs as the fund.

For example, if a fund is setup to cover program A, B and C which are all located in Site A, and the Cost Group is configured for Program D in Site A, then the Cost Group would not appear in the "Available Cost Group(s") list.

If a fund is setup to cover program A, B and C which are all located in Site A, and the Cost Group is only configured for Program A in Site A, then the Cost Group would appear in the "Available Cost Group(s)" List.

Display only Cost Groups with future or active effective date ranges; if the effective end date of the Cost Group is in the past, do not display it in the list for available Cost Groups. 

Multi-select boxes remain un-editable / disabled until the "Additional COA Requirements" checkbox is selected.

Multi-select text boxes display filterable columns for Cost Group Name, Category, Effective Start Date and Effective End Date.

Cost Groups display that the user selected from the "Available Cost Group(s)" list using the Add All, Add, Remove and Remove All buttons.

Award Minimums/Maximums Table

User may choose only one FAY. 

The fund min/max defined here is for the Award Period as a whole, it is not for each payment period within the award period.

If Date Range selected is FAY - If award is for FAY selected, the min/max entered will be used.

The fund min/max defined here is for the Award Period as a whole, it is not for each payment period within the award period.

If Date Range selected is AY - If AY start date falls within the range selected, the min/max entered will be used.

Amount Per Payment Period Table

Packaging will use a combination of Flat Rate Per Payment Period and the Amount Per Unit configured to determine the award amount when packaging. The configured amounts will then be used based on the following logic:

If the Amount Per Unit is left Blank, the Flat Amount Per PP would always be used.

If the Flat Amount Per Payment Period is left Blank, the Amount per Unit would always be used.

If neither the Amount Per Unit or the Flat Amount Per Payment Period is left blank, the Amount Per Unit will be used but will be limited by the Flat Amount Per Payment Period.

The payment period will use the Federal Award Year column along with the Effective Start Date and Effective End Date columns to determine if the fund will be packaged for the amount configured. 

If no Federal Award Year or Effective dates are configured, the configured Flat Amount Per Payment Period and/or Amount Per Unit amounts will be used for the award for all FAYs and PPs.  In this case, only one set of values (one row of data) can be configured.

Regent Award validates that the Effective Dates entered fall within the system configured effective date range for the FAY chosen.  For example, if the FAY date range is July 1 to June 30, any data sets provided for a given FAY must fall within these specific dates.  

If a NULL value is provided for an Effective Start or End Date, it will be implied that the Start or End date aligns with the FAY date range.  For example:

Data Set 1 for 2019-2020:  Null Start Date; End Date of Dec. 1, 2019;  The implied Start Date is the system's FAY start date, either July 1 or the start date of one of the Alt-FAY values, depending on configuration. 

Data Set 2 for 2019-2020:  Start Date of Dec. 2, 2019; Null End Date;  The implied End Date is the system's FAY end date, either June 30 or the end date of one of the Alt-FAY values, depending on configuration. 

Matching configured Amounts to Payment Periods:

For FAY-scoped Funds, Regent Award will first match the FAY value configured to the FAY value on the payment period.

Then the system will validate that the payment period start date falls within the effective date range provided for a given set of per PP/per Unit values.  If the payment period falls within the effective date range, the configured award amount will be used.

2018-2019

2019-2020

2020-2021

....

Multiple entries per FAY are allowed, but due to the effective date validation, the values configured in a single FAY should not be able to have overlapping effective date ranges

This field is required for FAY scope funds, except if only a single data set is configured. If there is only a single data set it means that the amount(s) configured will apply to all FAYs.

This table allows, within a given FAY, one entry can have either a NULL end date OR a NULL Start Date, while still ensuring that effective date ranges entered for the values of a given FAY are not overlapping.

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.

Note: A late disbursement is defined as an unpaid TEACH, Pell, Direct Parent Plus, Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, Direct Graduate Plus, SEOG and Perkins disbursement after the payment period or term has ended.

This feature applies to both FAY-based and AY-based funds.  EST uses the Loan Period's FAY to relate to the FAY setup here.  If a fund's Loan Period's FAY does not match the FAID FAY then this feature may not work correctly.

There is validation that the start date is prior to the end date. 

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)

Payment Period

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.  

There is validation that the start date is prior to the end date.

The date range is based on the payment period start date.
