Student Stipend Jobs

You can create automated Student Stipend jobs in the Automated Job Management form as well as edit Student Stipend jobs already configured and saved in Financial Aid Automation.

Setting up Auto Stipends will need coordination with the Student Accounts team as the stipend is housed within that module and school department.

The stipends must be scheduled with an approved status for this job to post them. The stipends can be scheduled manually or via the auto stipend feature.

    The Recurrence and Days fields only appear based on your selection in the Frequency field. You can configure the rotation of days using a Frequency of Daily. This allows you to configure a job to execute on the day specified under Days. The job will be executed and completed when the day and time occur. If you update the job schedule by changing the Start or End Date or the Days, the system creates new schedule entries and replaces the old schedule.

    Tip: If you try to create a job that is already saved with the same criteria, a duplicate job validation message is displayed. The message has links for each saved job. When you select any of the links, a new tab displays the job details for your review.
