Enable Additional Regent Plan Components | Determines if Regent Plan components other than My Borrowing will be displayed in Student Experience for students in this program. | Optional | Checkbox |
| When this field is selected, Regent Plan tools (with the exception of 'My Borrowing') will be presented in Student Experience to students in this Program IF 'Enable Regent Plan Component' is also selected for the student's site. If the field is unselected, students in this program will not be presented with Regent Plan tools in Student Experience. This setting is independent of 'Enable My Borrowing' configuration. My Borrowing and Advisor Assist are not affected by this setting. | ||||||||||||||||||
Default Enrollment Level Setup | Optional | Drop-down | Populate this list based on the Default Enrollment Levels that have been Set up in the system. | The value selected here should automatically populate as the default value on the Enrollment Level Setup drop-down menu (next to available terms) on the Terms/Enrollment level tab. | |||||||||||||||||||
Anticipated Enrollment Level Type | Enrollment Level value that Regent Award uses if a student does not have actual enrollment in a term or payment period. Regent Award will use the selected value to anticipate the student's enrollment level when packaging is run. If the program is configured with 'Enable Enrollment Anticipation,' that setting takes precedence for the student's projected enrollment on the Academic Plan. If a program is a Subscription Period program, Regent Award ignores the value in the 'Anticipated Enrollment Level Type.' | Optional | Drop-down |

When the new setting is enabled, if a student does not have any ISIR from the prior-year FAY in a crossover AY, but they do have an ISIR for the next FAY, Regent Award automatically packages loans from the next-year ISIR. | Required | Drop-down |
| Inherits value from the Campus by default, but is editable. When this setting is "Yes," and a student does not have an ISIR from the preferred FAY per the configured Default Academic Year Crossover Date, but the student has an ISIR from the other FAY in a crossover AY, the system will award loans using the other FAY's ISIR. | ||||||||||||||||||
Task Settings | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Days between last completed course and task | Required | Text - numeric 3 characters max | 0-999 | 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:
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:
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. | |||||||||||||||||||
Days between course drop and task | Configurable field where you will enter the number of days between the last day of the last course the student withdrew from and the day you want the task triggered in order to review for R2T4. | Optional | Text box - numeric 3 characters max | 0-999 | |||||||||||||||||||
Days between term end date and task | Configurable field to support the 'Review Unofficial Withdrawal for R2T4' task. This field should contain the number of days after the term end date that the "Review Unofficial Withdrawal for R2T4" task should be triggered. This field will inherit from Campus Setup. | Optional | Text box - numeric 3 characters max | 0-999 | |||||||||||||||||||
Non-Term | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Alt-EFC Months | Defines number of months for Alt-EFC period | Optional | Text box - numeric | Inherits default from campus when Program is created but can be edited . 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 |
| 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
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. | Required | Drop-down |

Originated Loan Amount refers to original loan amount and any subsequent changes that have been accepted by COD. | Required | Drop-down |
| Inherits from Institution Setup. |
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. | Required | Drop-down |

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. | Optional | Drop-down |
| |
Automatically Return Grant Amounts in Step 10 | When "yes" is selected, Regent Award will return amounts greater than $50 on Step 10: Return of Grant Funds by the Student within the R2T4 Worksheet.

| Inherits from the Campus level. |
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.

Days in R2T4 PP when 0 Units Completed | The amount entered controls the PP length used for populating the end dates in Step 2 of the R2T4 wizard, for students who have zero successfully completed units in the R2T4 payment period. More information is at R2T4-Only Payment Period Extrapolation Formula | Required (cannot be blank) if Method for Projecting Nonterm R2T4 PP End Date = "R2T4-Only Payment Period Extrapolation Formula" | Text box | Only allows positive integers up to a maximum length of 3 digits. | When the Academic Plan Payment Period Projection Method chosen is "R2T4-Only Payment Period Extrapolation Formula," the administrator must provide a fixed payment period length in days. |
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.
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. | Optional | Text box | Numerical, 2 characters max | Default will inherit from the "Campus". 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.
When this date has arrived, and the Net Accepted Amount of the disbursement is blank or $0, Regent Award will automatically cancel the disbursement. | Optional | Text box | Numerical, 2 characters max | Default will inherit from the "Campus". Zero is a valid entry. |
Offset to Establish Fund Auto-cancellation Date for non-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 non-IOP PWDs on the R2T4 Wizard PWD Tab.
When this date has arrived, and the Net Accepted Amount of the disbursement is blank or $0, Regent Award will automatically cancel the disbursement. | Optional | Text box | Numerical, 2 characters max | Default will inherit from the "Campus". Zero is a valid entry. |
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. | Optional | Drop-down |
| The setting will be editable for all term-based programs (Period Type is NOT "Non-Term") only.

Automation Settings | |||||
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. | Required | Drop-down |

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.
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. | Required - When Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required | Text box - numeric 2 characters max | Default is inherited from Campus | The default value is blank and is only editable when "Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required" is set to "Yes" 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.”
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. | Required - When Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required | Text box - numeric 2 characters max | Default is inherited from Campus | The default value is blank and is only editable when "Identify Whether a Potential R2T4 is Required" is set to "Yes" 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 to Auto-Finalize R2T4s" configuration shall have a validation where the days entered CANNOT be lesser than the days entered in the "Offset from DOD for Evaluation of Need for R2T4s" |
Types of R2T4s to Auto-Finalize | When R2T4 Automation is turned on, Regent Award will attempt to automatically Auto-Finalize the types of R2T4s selected from the list. When R2T4 Automation is turned on, Regent Award will attempt to automatically auto-finalize the types of R2T4s selected from this configuration option.

| When the "Inherit from Campus" checkbox is selected, the field will inherit the options selected at the Campus level. The checkbox will default to selected. Press CTRL when selecting multiple options. |
Cease Attendance Date | This setting determines which date field is used in the automated R2T4 calculation for nonterm or subscription period programs when determining if a student has a Commitment to Return (CORE) within 60 days. | Optional | Multi-select list box |
| Option for how the date a student ‘ceased attendance’ should be identified for the purpose of determining whether a nonterm student will/has returned in time to avoid being considered a withdrawal when using Regent R2T4 automation. |
