Regent Award was incorrectly assigning Historic SAP status to the first Program Term. Fix:
Regent Award was updated to ensure Historic SAP is used for calculation of the awards for the first Term but is not associated with this term, as actual SAP will only be calculated at the end of the term. Testing:

her first Term of first Academic Year. Create Student Batch Load (SBL) file with SAP tag, where SAP date and SAP Review Period End Date are prior to Student Term 1 Start Date.

RS-19524 | Regent Award | Packaging | Problem:
Some term-based students were close to their lifetime aggregate limits for Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Direct Loans. When the students were packaged, the system unexpectedly zeroed out their existing loan awards. Cause:
The school loaded an NSLDS Financial Aid History (FAH) data file. The file's date fell in between two Academic Years (AYs). When Regent Award calculated the remaining lifetime aggregate eligibility, the system incorrectly applied the eligibility to the earlier Academic Year instead of the later AY. Fix:
Regent Award packaging logic applies the remaining aggregate eligibility to the correct Academic Year when the data's effective date falls between Academic Years. Testing:
Find an affected student who is close to their lifetime aggregate loan limits, and who had loans in current and future Academic Years. View the student's History tab and the NSLDS column, with the Aggregate Subsidized and Aggregate Unsubsidized Loan amounts. Import an NSLDS FAH data file that contains an "Alert or FAH date" that occurs between the semester dates, and which has the same Total Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance amounts as the amounts currently on the student.

In Regent Award, find a student awarded with Direct Loan in Term 1 and Term 2, where Term 1 disbursement is Canceled and was never originated at COD. Add R2T4 for Term 2, resulting in PWD with a portion of Direct Loan. Check the PWD Tab and make sure disbursement is not marked as "second or subsequent disbursement" |
