Servicer Exception Review

You can use the Servicer Exception Review page to resolve any exceptions that Anthology Student identified when it automatically imported the servicer files and information. By default, the page displays all the exceptions. You can filter the list.

You can resolve exceptions by: 

  • Correcting and changing values
  • For some types of exceptions, selecting an award so that the servicer can be assigned to the award
  • Deleting an exception

You should only delete an exception when you are sure the data in Anthology Student is correct and the servicer data is incorrect. You need to resolve the issue directly with the servicer so that they can send you the corrected data.

If you deleted any exceptions when you were resolving them, you can also use the page to review them, and if needed, add them back. Refer to Procedure to Review and Restore Deleted Exceptions.

When you get the original award records from Global, the records have a Servicer Record ID. This ID is used to link any other record you get from Global (scheduled disbursements, paid disbursements, award/disbursement changes, etc.) for a student. When you delete award exceptions instead of resolving them, you lose the Servicer Record ID Identifier because this ID is only saved by resolving the exception; it is not added when students are manually packaged.

When you try to resolve the exceptions, the system is looking for the Servicer Record ID identifier on the student's award. If the ID is not present, the system cannot locate the appropriate record that needs to be updated and fails to resolve the exception.

You need to review each exception, cross-reference the information from each exception against the appropriate award, and update the award/disbursement information accordingly. Once the record has been manually updated, you can delete the exception.

Prerequisites

You must have:

  • Common - Processes - View authorization

  • Financial Aid – Processes – Servicer Exception Review authorization

To change values on the page, your user ID must be configured to allow editing of Global exception details.

If your institution has enabled Global exception security and configured fund source permissions, you must be in a staff group that has permission to take the action. For example, if you are resolving the exception by: 

  • Editing a paid disbursement, you must have permission to edit a payment

  • Selecting an award so that the servicer can be assigned to the award, you must have permission to add an award

  • Deleting the exception, you must have delete permission for the type you are deleting (such as delete payment) 

If you are resolving exceptions by changing Title IV awards, your institution must have configured the campus to allow, and not prevent, users from modifying Title IV aid.

You should be familiar with the Background for Servicer Import
