Regulatory US 24.7.0

Application Processing

Note: For customers using Mailbox Manager, there is an important reminder below:

An annual certificate update is required to continue using FTI-SAIG software to receive Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs). Users should be notified via email from FTI-TDCM 30 days before certification expiring. Once the runtime file has expired, a new runtime file will need to be exported from the Security subtab in FTI-SAIG Mailbox generating a new approval code. The new approval code must be entered and the new runtime file uploaded to corresponding FT account in Mailbox Manager. FT Account in Mailbox Manager will need to be validated with the new information.

It is critical for schools to review their FTI-SAIG Mailbox to determine when the runtime file will expire to prevent any interruptions in receiving ISIR files.

Campus-Based COD

Improved Student Matching Logic

We've enhanced the Campus-Based Response import process to improve student matching logic. Previously, the system relied solely on the FWS Reporting Entity ID to match students. Now, the system will prioritize matching based on SchoolAssignedPersonID and/or SchoolNoteMessage. If these identifiers are not found, the system will then search for the student using their identifier. This ensures that students with multiple enrollments are displayed only once on the import report.

Additionally, we've updated the matching logic for Web Response files to use the student identifier instead of restricting the search to the FWS Reporting Entity ID.

Please note that the report in the legacy application has some known issues that we will address in a future release.

COD

CRSP24OP.xxx Files Failed to Import Using Automated COD Import

The CRSP24OP.xxx files are now successfully imported into the system for the 2024-25 award year regardless of whether the ApplicationLoanAmount tag is present. The system now matches and updates the files to the correct borrower. This applies to Plus Loans, Direct Plus, and Grad Plus. The matching logic no longer depends on the application loan amount tag but instead matches on the borrower identifiers. If multiple Direct Plus loans have been awarded to the student, the system will match the first available loan and update the information imported from the CRSP file.

Financial Aid (Student Experience)

Contact Manager Tasks for Housing Status Notifications

When a student selects a housing status on the Financial Aid Overview page in the Student Portal, a “Housing Status Submitted” task is added to the designated staff member. The “Housing Status Submitted” task is generated by the “Other Task” event type.

Gainful Employment

FVT/GE - Export and Import Forms

The Anthology Student web app has been updated to support the export and import of Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and Gainful Employment (GE) data based on the Final Rule published by the Department of Education on October 10, 2023. The system exports and imports FVT/GE files using the fixed width message classes defined in Volume 1 - FVT/GE Student Submittal Reporting and in Volume 2 - FVT/GE Batch Program Submittal Reporting of the (FVT/GE) User Guide and defined Appendix A: FVT/GE File Record Layouts.

In Processes > Financial Aid > Gainful Employment Import, staff members can import an FVT/GE Error/Acknowledgement File returned in the GEFVPFOP (Program) and GERFLEOP (Student) message class. The file will list the first five errors on records submitted in the submittal file identified by an Error Code. The file will contain only a Header and Trailer Record if no errors exist.

In Processes > Financial Aid > Gainful Employment Export, staff members can select the most recently completed award years to gather FVT/GE information of all students who enrolled, withdrew, or graduated in FVT/GE Programs for that Award Year. Additionally, depending on whether the Standard or Transitional reporting option was selected for the institution, one or more award years can be selected to gather FVT/GE information of all students who withdrew, or graduated in FVT/GE Programs for those historical Award Years.

The system:

  • Allows an institution's location (campus) to report on students who attend any locations that share the same TG Number.

  • Gathers FVT/GE information of all students who received Title IV student aid at any time during the program being reported and creates:

    • An AA Record if the student was enrolled through the end of the most recently completed award year selected.

    • A TA Record if the student graduated or withdrew during the recently completed award year and prior award years selected based on using the Standard or Transitional option.

  • Does not export students for whom the institution does not have a valid Social Security Number (SSN).

  • Generates an exception report to display students who met all criteria to be reported for Gainful Employment but do not have a valid SSN.

  • Reports a student separately for each program if the student is enrolled in more than one program that does not share the same Program Identifiers in the same award year.

Staff members can export the students’ FVT/GE information into a flat (fixed-width format) file, known as the GE Submittal File.

The message class names for the FVT/GE Submittal File with fixed width format are “GESFLEIN” (Student) and “GEFVPFIN” (Program).

The system:

  • Creates the GE Submittal File in the EDE path of the reporting Campus.

  • Automatically generates a GE Submittal report to display the GE batch information such as file name, date created, criteria used to generate the GE batch, and the list of students in the GE batch after the GE Submittal File is created.

  • Keeps track of each exported GE batch along with the detailed records of each batch for record-keeping and reporting purposes.
