COD Disbursement Analysis

You can use the COD Disbursement Analysis report to generate a summary of the total COD disbursements and compare that number to the total COD disbursements posted as received in Anthology Student. The report shows only those students who have a record for the selected Award Year.

You can also use this report to determine, for example, rejected loan originations.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to generate reports in the future with the same selection criteria.
