Published Program Length (Years)

Program length for SULA calculations.

If this field has a value, it will be used for calculating the values for the 'Regent Calculated Program Length in Years' and the 'Regent Maximum Eligibility Period' and will be the program length sent to COD.

Required (one of Years, Months, Weeks)TextPublished Program Length - Years: Numeric; Value must be blank, or 0.001 to 99.999

Required for all programs. One of the three options must be selected, and the selected option must also have a numeric value. Schools can select only one of (Years, Weeks, Months.)

Validation: Schools must choose one selection option, and enter the associated value. The numeric fields will allow numeric input only: positive values, up to three decimal places. Zero is not allowed, but blank/empty values are OK (and blank values are required for the non-selected options).

Published Program Length (Months)

Program length for SULA calculations.

If this field has a value, it will be used for calculating the values for the 'Regent Calculated Program Length in Years' and the 'Regent Maximum Eligibility Period' and will be the program length sent to COD.

Required (one of Years, Months, Weeks)TextPublished Program Length - Months: Numeric; Value must be blank, or 0.001 to 99.999

Published Program Length (Weeks)

Program length for SULA calculations.

If this field has a value, it will be used for calculating the values for the 'Regent Calculated Program Length in Years' and the 'Regent Maximum Eligibility Period' and will be the program length sent to COD.

Required (one of Years, Months, Weeks)TextPublished Program Length - Weeks: Numeric; Value must be blank, or 0.001 to 999.999

Regent Calculated Program Length in Years

Regent's recalculated program length for SULA calculations. Regent converts the Published Program Length value into Years using COD's special conversion formulas.Required (display-only, system-calculated)TextNumeric, truncated to 3 decimal places

If the configuration is changed for the Published Program Length or Academic Year Weeks, then the system will recalculate this field's value.

The value depends on the school's selection and value for the new field Published Program Length (PPL-Y Years, PPL-M Months or PPL-W Weeks). (PPL-W Weeks will be initially populated with the value for the preexisting configuration setting, Academic Year Weeks (AYW) at upgrade). The resulting value is truncated to 3 decimal places with standard rounding. 

  1. If the school selected Years, then set this field to the same value as Published Program Length in Years (PPL-Y).
  2. If the school selected Months, then set this field to the calculated value of: 
    1.    (Published Program Length in Months value) x (30)  / 
          ( (Academic Year Weeks value) x 7)
  3. If the school selected Weeks, then set this field to the value of:
    1.     (Published Program Length in Weeks value)  / 
          (Academic Year Weeks value) 

The resulting value is truncated to 3 decimal places.

Regent Calculated Maximum Eligibility Period

Regent's calculated maximum eligibility period for SULA calculations. Value is 150% of the Regent Calculated Program Length in Years.Required (display-only, system-calculated)TextNumeric, rounded to nearest 0.1 years

If the configuration is changed for the Published Program Length or Academic Year Weeks, then the system will recalculate this field's value.

The value is calculated using the Regent Calculated Program Length in Years.  

Calculation steps for Regent Calculated Maximum Eligibility Period:

  1. Make sure the Regent Calculated Program Length in Years value is truncated to three decimal places (0.001)
  2. Multiply the Regent Calculated Program Length in Years value by 1.5
  3. Round to 1 decimal place (0.1) using standard rounding
  4. The resulting value is the Regent Calculated Maximum Eligibility Period.

Auto-include Header/Trailer terms for AY-based Funds

When this setting is Yes, Regent Award will automatically package a 3-term loan based on registration adjacent to a header/trailer term. The award would be split evenly across each of the three terms, IF this setting is 'Yes' and the student is in a SAY program with registration for header/trailer.. The feature is for SAY schools only.

  • If a crossover term associated to selected program is marked "Use for Anticipation", then loans will always include header/trailer term in SAY LP and split evenly across all term in the LP
  • If a crossover term associated to the selected is NOT marked "Use for Anticipation", then loans will include header/trailer term in SAY LP only when registration exists before loan has been disbursed in header/trailer term and split evenly across all term in the LP
OptionalDrop-down
  • Yes
  • No (default)

This option is only available if Academic Calendar is SAY, hidden otherwise.

Default value is No

Notes for use:

  1. Term setup should not mark summer trailers as useForPlanning. Setting autoIncludeHeaderTrailer to True ('Yes') will always include the Header/Trailer term regardless of registration.

  2. Campus setup should have attemptToKeepPaidDisbursementsUnchanged=True to avoid increasing paid disbursements. Without attemptToKeepPaidDisbursementsUnchanged =true, the original disbursement will change.

Task Settings

Days between last completed course and task
RequiredText - numeric 3 characters max0-999

Because of the different term structures (Term, Non-Term and Non-Standard Term), the days between the completion of a course(s) and when the school will need to review the student for R2T4 will vary. In order to manage the number of days between the completed course(s) and the task being triggered, we will add three inheritable, configurable fields to the Institution and Campus set up screens to manage the different term structures. These fields are:

  • Days between last completed course and task - Term
  • Days between last completed course and task - Non-Term
  • Days between last completed course and task - Non-Standard Term

The field 'Days between last completed course and task' on program set up will inherit its value from campus set up based on the program's academic type. For example, if campus set up is the following:

  • Days between last completed course and task - Term 60 days
  • Days between last completed course and task - Non-Term 30 days
  • Days between last completed course and task - Non-Standard Term 14 days

And the program's academic structure (based on the programs academic calendar set up) makes it a non-term program, then the field 'Days between last completed course and task' on program set up will inherit the value of '30'.

This field pertains only to the "Review Completed Courses No Current Registration" task. When a student completes their current course(s) and is not registered for another course(s) within X number of days, the student should be reviewed for R2T4. This task will trigger on the X day after the last completed course for the student. In this field, enter the number of days after the last completed course in which the R2T4 review should be triggered / completed. This value is inherited from institution and campus set up based on the academic structure of this program.

Only displayed for BBAY3 programs.

Although this field is technically optional, it should be treated as required when completing setup for most schools (until such time that we encounter a school that wants to continue recalculating eligibility amounts when progress is slow, i.e. a dynamic efc).

Academic Plan Payment Period Projection Method:

Applicable only to BBAY3 calendar. The option chosen here dictates how R8 will extend a payment period end date when there is not enough registered units or weeks to soft close the payment period.

These fields control how we push out a payment period end date when we do not have registration to fill in the gap between the partial registration and the PP end date, until such time that we have actual registration to set the PP end date.

CE has partial course data --> use that partial end date to apply the method chosen here if the end date is today or in the past.

If the course goes into the future we'll use that course enrollments end date to anticipate into the future.

When there is not sufficient future registration to complete the PP, a non-term PP extension (by enrollment, student pace, or fixed amount) occurs as soon as the student fails a course or otherwise does not progress as expected. The CEs would be re-rolled up after the school sends the SBL with the failed course.  RNA would then have updated CE data in the next packaging run, which would adjust the plan as needed. 

Required if Academic Calendar Type = BBAY3 Drop-down
  • By Enrollment
  • By Program Rate
  • By Fixed Amount

Applicable only to nonterm programs. The option controls how Regent Award will extend a nonterm payment period end date when the student does not have enough registered units or weeks to fill the payment period.

Only Display when BBAY3 is selected.

By Actual Enrollment - Uses the current accrual rate:

Registered Units / Duration to get the units/wk the student is earning or expected to earn.

Multiply this progress rate by the remaining number of units in the PP.

r (rate) = registered units/current number of weeks = units/week

u (remaining units) = Required PP units - Registered units

w = u / r

w will be added to today's date if registered end date is in the past.

w will be added to the registered end date if it is in the future.

the new PP length can't be less than the required minimum number of instructional weeks.

By Program - will figure out the number of weeks based on the program accrual rate

r (rate) = Program Setup AY units/AY weeks = units/week

u (remaining units) = Required PP units - Registered units

w = u / r

w will be added to today's date if registered end date is in the past.

w will be added to the registered end date if it is in the future.

the new PP length can't be less than the required minimum number of instructional weeks.

By Fixed Amount

  • null or 0 days - Does nothing. 
  • >0 days - Extends the PP for the number of days entered.  Days are added to the greater of either the maxRegisteredDate (end date of last course) or today’s date.  

Example: Has partial registration Jan 1-31. The end date of the enrollment would be 31. If the date is in the past, we'll use today's date and add the fixed amount number of days to that date. If the end date is in the future, we'll use that date and add the fixed number of days to that date.

Date Used to Consider Non-Rebuild Loan 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 an 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. The cancellation occurs in the same term for term-based programs or the entire AY for nonterm programs.

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.

Method for Projecting Nonterm R2T4 PP End Date

This field determines how Regent Award will calculate a nonterm student's projected PP length and related dates for R2T4 purposes. The calculated PP length will determine the individual student's earned proportion of federal financial aid in the Payment Period.  

When "Academic Plan Payment Period Projection Method" is chosen, Regent Award will use the settings selected by the school in the "Academic Plan Payment Period Projection Method" field to determine the length of the Payment Period for Step 2 of the R2T4 calculation. 

When "R2T4-Only Payment Period Extrapolation Formula "is chosen, Regent Award will calculate the projected payment period length for the student based on the number of units the student successfully completed in the payment period, and the length of time it took the student to complete those units. Regent Award will use these calculations to populate the Scheduled PP End Date, AY End Date Override and the LP End Date Override for Step 2 of the R2T4 calculation. Users may still override those dates.

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.

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.

Zero is a valid entry for this field.

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.
