This date will auto-populate based on the "Offset to Establish Fund Auto-Cancellation Date" configuration option for "X" number of days after the PWD Finalization date. Example: If "Offset to Establish Fund Auto-Cancellation Date" is configured for 90 days and the R2T4 is finalized on 1/15, the date that will auto-populate for the "Actual Cancel Date" will be 4/15 (in a non-leap year). If the school receives a response from the student prior to this date, they will manually edit the PWD tab:
When packaging is run on/after the Actual Cancel Date and the "Net Accepted Amount" field is blank or $0, the PWD or IOP amount will be automatically canceled. | Optional | Date | Pre-populated | The field is editable at all times, even after selecting "Finalize" until the point that the PWD form is locked down for editing (once all PWDs are either paid or canceled).

Net Amount Accepted | Net amount of the PWD fund accepted by the student. Enter the amount of the PWD disbursement that the student has accepted, including cents. For Loans, this is the net amount of the loan accepted by the student (can be 0). When filling out this section, users should enter amounts for all offered loans. Regent Award will adjust the loan disbursement/award to match the amount entered in this field. Loans will disburse or cancel on the next BP/EST run. For Grants, this value will be auto-filled and will disburse on the next BP/EST run. If the R2T4 is Finalized, and the PWD is fully paid for the student's Net Amount Accepted, any changes must occur outside of the PWD worksheet. "Fully paid" means the disbursement's amount and the disbursement's paid amount are both equal to the student's Net Accepted Amount, and the disbursement's Status = Paid. | Required | Text | Currency | The system stops evaluating PWDs for changes when more than 180 days have passed after the Date of Determination. For example, if the Date of Determination is January 1, 2019, the system will still process PWD changes through June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, the system would stop considering PWD changes. If a user unselects the checkbox for "Do Not Offer" (meaning the school SHOULD offer the disbursement to the student), upon saving and packaging, Regent Award will update the disbursement amount based on the Net Amount Accepted.

Date Disbursed (if applicable) | This field will be auto-populated with the disbursement release date after the PWD disbursement has been paid to the student.

Do Not Offer | Regent Award will automatically assess each PWD disbursement to determine whether or not it should be offered. See Post-Withdrawal Disbursements This checkbox can also be selected manually if Regent Award does not determine that the disbursement should not be offered, but the school has another reason to not offer the disbursement to the student. If the Do Not Offer checkbox is set by the school manually, an "M" icon will display next to the field in both edit and view mode. If a Direct Loan disbursement was previously Canceled because a student dropped below Half-Time status, and Regent Award has set the "Do not Offer" checkbox as Selected, a user cannot change the "Do not Offer" reason. The screen displays an explanation in both Edit and View mode. If a user changes any "Do not Offer" checkbox on a Finalized R2T4 PWD, the user must also add and save a Comment in the same edit session in order to Save the updates. The screen will also show a reminder prompting the user to review and make any necessary updates to the Actual Cancel Date, Date PWD Response, and Net Amount Accepted. The "Do Not Offer" checkbox is not editable for some specific disbursements:
| Optional | Checkbox |
| If this box is selected for a disbursement, whether automatically or manually, the "Actual Cancel Date" will update to today's date and the "Net Amount Accepted" field will be set to $0. If selected, whether automatically or manually, the disbursement will be canceled (zeroed out). IOPs will be returned. The "Do Not Offer" checkbox will not be editable after the R2T4 is finalized. The "Do Not Offer" checkbox will not be editable after an R2T4 is Finalized unless the user has the permission enabled for "Edit Do Not Offer on Finalized PWD." If a user unselects the "Do not Offer" checkbox (meaning the school SHOULD offer the disbursement to the student), the system updates the "Net Amount Accepted." |
