Read only

Text box

Alternate EFC Months

Required

Text box

Used to calculate the EFC for the term. If a decimal is included, standard rounding rules will be used to determine the number of months to use for selecting the term Alt EFC from the active ISIR.

Accelerate Begin Actual for Registered Units

Optional

Drop-down

• Any Registered Units
• Full Time
• Three Quarter Time
• Half Time
• Less than Half Time

Allows you to set an enrollment level that will trigger packaging to use actual enrollment instead of anticipated enrollment. It will work similar to the Begin Actual Date flag, but based on an enrollment level status in instead of a date. No matter what value is chosen in this field, Regent Award will flip to actual under any circumstances on the Begin Actual Date.

The "Accelerate Begin Actual for Registered Credits" is used as the enrollment threshold to specify when (prior to the census date) to use actual units in packaging a student. It works in conjunction with Begin Actual Date. The system will begin using actual enrollment once one of the actions has occurred. Here is an example: The census date is October 15th, the begin actual date is October 10^th, and the accelerate begin actual value is ½ time. If the current date is October 1st and the student only enrolls for 3 units, Regent Award will continue to use anticipated enrollment.
If the current date is October 1st and the student enrolls for 15 units, Regent Award will use actual enrollment since the actual enrollment is greater than ½ time. If the current date is October 11st and the student only enrolls for 3 units, Regent Award will use actual enrollment since the begin actual date is after October 10th.

Completes SAY?

Optional

Radio button

• Yes
• No

Indicator to designate which term is the final term in the SAY for a program. Trailing terms will automatically complete the SAY.  However, it should be set on the last term (used for anticipating enrollment) in the SAY (i.e. on the spring terms) if you do not want to use anticipated enrollment for the Summer in the awarding process.

• Inherit (default)
• Actual Registered Units by the Term Start Date
• Actual Registered Units by the Term Begin Actual Date
• Actual Registered Units by the Term Census Date
• Actual Registered Units by the Term Auto Withdraw Date
• Direct Loans Greater Than $0

Stipulates when Regent Award can "anchor" a term-based BBAY. Regent Award determines "anchor" eligibility based on a configured Term Date or when Direct Loans are greater than $0 in the term.

1. The "Actual Registered Units by the Term Start Date" uses Term Setup's "Start Date" to anchor the term when actual registration is received by this date.
2. The "Actual Registered Units by the Term Begin Actual Date" uses Term Setup's "Begin Actual Date" to anchor the term when actual registration is received by this date.
3. The "Actual Registered Units by the Term Census Date" uses Term Setup's "Census Date 1" (term's first Census Date) to anchor the term when actual registration is received by this date. Student-level Census Functionality Note: Regent Award uses the Term Setup's Census Date 1 regardless of the Student-level Census Date.
4. The "Registered Units by the Term Auto Withdraw Date" Date uses Term Setup's "Auto Withdraw Date" to anchor the term when actual registration is received by this date.
5. Direct Loans Greater Than $0 will anchor the term when Direct Loan amounts in the term are packaged with an amount greater than $0. Note: Enrollment and Term Dates will not be considered when this option is selected.

See Anchoring a BBAY for more details.

Use for Anticipation?

Optional

Radio button

• Yes
• No

Designates when the Term should be used for anticipating enrollment.
For example – if the school is SAY with Fall, Spring, Summer terms and Summer is NOT checked as "use for anticipation" - then the system will not include a Summer term in the academic plan unless an SBL is imported with courses on it for Summer. If it is checked, then the system will always include that term in the academic plan as it anticipates it out into the future.

Begin Actual Date

Required

Date picker

MM-DD-CCYY

The "Begin Actual Date" is the date used to specify when (prior to the census date) to use actual units in packaging a student. Prior to this date, anticipated units will be used.

Pell Recalculation Date

Optional

Date picker

MM-DD-CCYY

Used to recalculate the enrollment status based upon all courses for which attendance has been reported by the Pell Recalculation date. If the enrollment status based upon attendance is less than the enrollment status as of Census, the enrollment status will be reduced and Pell will be recalculated based upon the recalculated enrollment status.

Reanticipate Academic Plan Date

(Previous name: SAP Date)

Required

Date picker

MM-DD-CCYY

Default to term end date.

Should be greater or equal than term end date.

Census Date 1

Optional

Date picker

The census date is used to set the Pell "initial calculation" date which is often referred to as the census date. All courses enrolled on or before this date and are not dropped or withdrawn on or before this date will be included in the census units.

Optional

Date picker

MM-DD-CCYY

Supports the ability to provide a census date for students who are enrolled in only the second module of a term. 

Optional

Date picker

MM-DD-CCYY

This field can be used to provide the last date within the term that a school allows a student to drop or add courses for that term.  Within Regent Award, this date will be used in SAP Calculations. 

Previously, Regent Award's SAP logic used the Census Date 1 value to included or exclude courses that were attended but withdrawn before that date, in the SAP attempted and cumulative units calculations.  However, Census is a date used for Pell calculations.  When it comes to SAP calculations and the determination as to whether to include or exclude withdrawn courses as attempted, schools use the "Last Day for Drop/Add" date. 

Note:  This field was added in release 4.4.0.0;  All existing customers had the new "Last Day for Drop/Add" value set to the same value as the current Census Date 1 for each existing term, at the time of upgrade.

SAP Evaluation Start Date

Defines the first day when Regent will try to automatically calculate a SAP status for a term, at a school with a Calculated SAP policy. 

Regent recommends that schools configure this date to be after the last day when a class could be added for the term, to prevent prematurely calculating a SAP status that could change. If this date is set to before the Term's end date, Regent also recommends that the school enable the setting, 'Delay SAP Calculation Due to Missing Grades' in Institution Setup.

SAP Evaluation End Date

Defines the last day when RNA will try to automatically calculate a SAP status for a term, at a school with a Calculated SAP policy and using 'Auto-Generate SAP Node from Student GPA.' Regardless of the SAP Evaluation Period End Date, Regent will still always calculate a new SAP status if a new SBL SAP node is received for the term on or after the term's SAP Evaluation Period Start Date.

Regent recommends that schools configure this date to the last day when grades could be posted for the term, and prior to when a new GPA is posted for the next term.
