COD Export

You can use the COD Export page to create export files for submission to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system through EDconnect. The export files contain records for the processing of fund source originations and disbursements.

Any exceptions that occur when a COD file is exported, must be resolved within the COD Export process described on this page. Any exceptions that occur when a COD file is imported, must be resolved using the COD Exceptions process.

The export process involves the following steps:

  • Specify the selection criteria for the records to be extracted from the database.

  • Select the records to be included in the export file and export the selected records to the COD system.

  • Review the history of batches that have been exported to COD

Regulatory US 25.10.0 introduces campus-level security so that the History tab displays only records specific to the logged-in user.

This enhancement requires the following configuration:

  1. In Settings > System > Campuses > Campus Groups, select a Campus Group (or create one) that only has the campus that the user needs permission for.

  2. In Settings > System > Staff, select your Staff member, and on the General tile, ensure the Campus Group for the user is the Campus Group from step 1.

Financial Aid Processes File Management

Anthology Student version 22.0 and later enables customers to manage files in Azure File Storage using the Financial Aid Processes File Management form under Processes > System Administration. Without this form, users cannot upload or download files to Azure File Storage due to security restrictions. The file management functionality enables you to place files in the location where specific financial aid processes (e.g., Application Data Export/Import, Clearinghouse, NSLDS Reports, and others) expect to find the files. For more details, refer to Financial Aid Processes File Management.

Procedure to Export COD Files

Process Tab

The Selection Criteria section of the Process tab enables you to specify the data set for the COD Export file.

The COD Export process checks whether records selected for export are already gathered in a Student Review Batch.

  • If a batch is currently processing (not in Complete or Succeeded state) and you try to queue another batch with the same selection criteria, you will receive a notification indicating that you cannot queue the batch until the previous batch has finished processing.

  • If a batch has been successfully processed and you try to gather another batch with the same selection criteria, the process checks if the record is already in another open batch that has been gathered but not exported yet. The process then will not regather the same record.

Student Review Batches Tab

The Student Review Batches tab enables you to review the student records included in a temporary batch. Before creating the final batch, you can remove student records that do not need to be exported to COD.

History Tab

The History tab contains detailed information about the records included in a batch. You can review the details and decide whether to regenerate or cancel a batch.

Regulatory 25.10.0 introduces the "Enable Campus Level Security on Batches" feature. When this feature is enabled, the records on the History tab will be filtered based on the logged-in user and the set of campuses from campus groups associated with this user. The filtering of records on the History tab is based on the SyCampusId. Records with a NULL value in the CampusID field will be visible to all users. CampusID = NULL is assigned to records that are not in Succeeded status (e.g., Completed, Enqueued).

A clean-up script ensures that batches on the History tab that were created before the implementation of the campus-level security feature are also filtered based on the new campus-level security. The script runs at the batch level per process and assigns SyCampusId values to the records in the batch.

If the registry key setting "Enable Campus Level Security on Batches" is turned off under Settings > System > General, the History tab will load the records based on the default campus setting (Session Defaults).

The registry key setting is available in Anthology Student 25.1.0 and later.

 

This feature applies to U.S. compliance only.
