Revised SAI Tables to Account for Inflationary Adjustments
The Department of Education provided revised tables in the final Student Aid Index (SAI) and Pell Grant Eligibility Guide to account for inflationary adjustments. The SAI calculations in Anthology Student have been adjusted based on the revised tables.
Perform ISIR Corrections Using DRN Requests
ISIR corrections for the 2024-25 award year can be performed using a data release number (DRN). DRN requests are used when a student does not have an ISIR or has an ISIR with a school code that does not match the campus for the student. See Procedure to Correct ISIRs Using the DRN.
FTI Data Messaging in SAI Calculator
Anthology Student retains the Controlled Unclassified Information/Specified Tax (CUI//SP-TAX) labeling of imported ISIR data. The SAI Calculator page displays banners indicating the beginning and end of the Student Tax Return Information and Parent Tax Return Information sections when these sections contain data. Institutions must ensure the privacy and security of FAFSA data (including FTI) and must obtain FAFSA contributor consent for the disclosure and use of their information.
ISIR Summary Report
The PEFC column label on the ISIR Summary Report has been replaced with PEFC/SAI.
Campus-Based COD
Campus-Based Programs Form Calculates and Displays Manual Updates to FWS Records
The Export Information section on the Campus-Based Programs form under Student Profile > Financial Aid did not display the changed value for the Federal Work-Study (FWS) amount when payments were added after exporting the student’s FWS records. The changed value was shown only in the Payment Information section.
The system now accurately tracks and updates FWS payment records after manual edits and additional payments. Any subsequent payments result in the creation of an FWS new record that reflects the cumulative total of FWS payments made to the student, without altering the manually edited record. The updated total accurately reflects all payments made over the calendar year.
College Financing Plan
Total Cost of Attendance Listed in Correct Sections
For clients using Financial Aid Automation with a budget configured under Automated Budget and Packaging Options that included Tuition, Fees, Housing and Meals, the College Finance Plan for students listed these costs under Other Education Costs. Now the College Finance Plan lists the included costs correctly in their respective categories.
