Loan Information

Informed Borrower Tab

Beginning with the 2020-21 award year, Anthology Student supports the Informed Borrowing Requirement for student borrowers (DIRSUB, DIRUNSUB, DIR Grad Plus loans) and parent borrowers (DIR Parent Plus loans). After the borrowers acknowledge that they have reviewed their outstanding loan balance at https://StudentAid.gov (Annual Student Loan Acknowledgement), COD returns a new system-generated response file (CRIByyOP) that contains the information populated on the screen below.

Use the Informed Borrower tab to check if borrowers have reviewed their outstanding loan balance at https://StudentAid.gov (Annual Student Loan Acknowledgement).

For the award years 2021-22 and later, Regulatory does not prevent the export of Direct Loan awards with Paid or Released disbursements (DRI= true) until an Informed Borrowing/Annual Student Loan Acknowledgment record can be found for the borrower. The export validation was not implemented because the Department of Education delayed its enforcement.

   The Direct Loan COA value will only be visible for clients using Regulatory 14.2 with the Anthology Student versions marked as TRUE in the table below.

   22.2.0	TRUE

   The MPN Information tab is labeled as "MPN Information / COA" when Direct Loan COA values are available.

   The grid does not display the Direct Loan Cost Of Attendance column by default. Select the drop-down in a column header and select this column to view its values.

   When you select a record that has a Direct Loan COA value, you can select the Update Cost Of Attendance option in the grid header and edit the value in a popup window. The following validation occurs:

   • The Direct Loan COA must be greater than 0.

   • If the Direct Loan COA is less than all direct loans in the loan period, a warning is displayed, but you can still save the updated value.

   The system does not perform any calculations to determine the Direct Loan COA.

   • Mid-year start students will have direct loans created with the Direct Loan COA from the student's Total Budget Displays the total of values you have specified in the budget and represents the cost of attendance (COA) for this academic year or loan period. It includes tuition, books and supplies, room and board, travel, and all other charges. amount (refer to Add Academic Year Sequences). The budget for a mid-year start should be adjusted already due to the abbreviated dates of the academic year.

   • If the COA increases and a loan is increased, the loan period dates and the Direct Loan COA need to be manually updated.

   • If the COA increases and the student is packaged for a single-term loan, the loan period dates and Direct Loan COA need to be manually adjusted.

   Manual adjustments will initially create the loan with a loan period of the student's academic year, then retrieve the Direct Loan COA from a previous loan with matching dates, or retrieve the Direct Loan COA from the Budget COA. Loan Periods may need to be added for term-based programs where a user could assign a COA for each term.

   Packaging with Limit Awards to COA Select the check box to prevent institutions from over-awarding. The system prevents the creation of a student payment plan when the COA is zero. For additional information, refer to Background for Campuses Financial Aid. selected (refer to COD & Packaging Settings for Campuses) will not allow a user to package a total amount of direct loans over the COA. The packaging logic will populate the Direct Loan COA with an amount that will always be greater than the total amount of direct loans.

   Changing the Direct Loan COA will not create an origination change for a loan previously submitted to COD. The tag will just be sent with the current value every time other origination changes are sent.
