The May FA Coffee break focused on everything from COD processing to revised award communication to the announcement of the verification waiver, SAP, and May 1 processing!
Revised Award Communications
Check out the poll results where we polled the zoom attendees:
- The timing of revising financial aid offers and sending out communications is all about managing expectations! Institutions shared their processes and best practices in regards to the timing of adjusting and communicating, what is communicated to the student and which adjustments trigger a communication!
- Please complete this survey for some additional questions on how your institution is handling communicating award adjustment to students.
Changes to 2022-2023 Verification Requirements
Here we go again! Dear Colleague (GEN-22-06) provides information about the extension of a waiver of certain verification requirements for the 2022-2023 award year.
This HUEG thread from last year speaks to what many institutions did previously!
COD Processing
The latest PRP that has been released is Patch 34014011: REMOVE DECIMALS FROM <DIRECTLOANATTENDANCECOST>. This patch was released post PUM25, so these fixes are not included in PUM 25.
Unfortunately, there is another Bug 34175981 that has been identified with Patch 34014011. Oracle has provided a workaround, which can be found in Oracle Support Document 2869350.1 (COD Inbound (CODIN) Process Error 'ORA-01840: input value not long enough for date format' in FAPCODIN Log File After Patch 34014011) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=2869350.1
- Until the fix is delivered, the issue can be resolved using the following workaround:
- Open FAPPLINB.cbl in a text editor.
- On line 1302, change the 'H' to 'D'.
- Recompile the cobol.
- Re-test CODIN.
